How spotify got into fdroid?
F-Droid is for app delivery in general. Only apps from the official f-droid repository are guaranteed FOSS. Third party repos can provide any app they'd like, even proprietary ones. The (unofficial Firefox)[https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox] repo for example provides Spotify even though it is not FOSS. If you just have it for Firefox, a FOSS fork is also available in the official F-Droid repo, but under the name "Fennec".

Custom F-Droid Repository with Apps from Play Store
I recently stumbled upon this project https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox. It's very handy. It automatically downloads APKs from Github or release pages and publishes an F-Droid repository on Gitlab Pages.

Is there any point in using Aurora store over Google play?
I don't know about Aurora, but there is this gitlab repo which clones spotify app, among others, for use in fdroid
-
Why wouldn't Signal be listed in f-droid? Is there a more reliable SMS (FOSS) program?
It is on f-droid but you need to add a repository: https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox#firefox-f-droid-repo-unofficial . alternatively install the apk from signal: https://signal.org/android/apk/ as it self-updates

The confusing CalyxOS-supplied Chromium
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Nexus 7 Flox: flo-deb_clamor_repartition_20201203.zip unavailable
Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Alternative to Samsung Internet - Android browser with bottom back & forward buttons (not hidden)
Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)
