What’s the benefit in using the Aurora App Store? It just looks like an alternate interface, according to their site you’re still using Google Play and you still need to log in with your Google account. Same with Vivaldi, isn’t it just Chrome? I’m asking sincerely, these aren’t attempts at gotchas or anything.
Fair enough, thanks. The screenshot I took was the top of the page of the first result when I searched for Aurora Store, that’s why I was asking. It just didn’t seem very useful. I might try it out.
Huh, weird that it says that. They let me use an anonymous profile when I installed aurora store. I didn’t have to sign in or anything and when I tap the settings icon it says my account is “anonymous@gmail.com”
I think you only need a google play account if you want to download paid applications or applications that use google pay for microtransactions or whatever.

You don’t.
To use Aurora Store, you can either login via your Google account or use an anonymous account.
Isn’t there a no account mode for Aurora ?
Not according to their site
Possibly an old sub-domain of some sort. Here seems more correct.
