Description
The microg.org front page says:
At this point, several popular open-source applications like the secure messenger Signal already require some of Google's proprietary libraries to be installed.
However, Signal hasn't required any of Google's proprietary libraries to be installed since February:
- https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/commit/1669731329bcc32c84e33035a67a2fc22444c24b
- https://whispersystems.discoursehosting.net/t/how-to-get-signal-apks-outside-of-the-google-play-store/808/15
It would probably be best to update the front page to use a different example, or at least remove "like the secure messenger Signal" until one is found.
