It was my own stupid fault for installing it - I saw the GitHub link, and assumed it must be open source so I just went straight to the Releases page and installed it. Its only when my DDG App Tracking Protection started blocking literally hundreds of calls to trackers and Firebase that I went back to GitHub and saw that the guy's simply using it to host the apk, there's no source code there at all. Lesson learned.
