Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users
coolmojo@lemmy.world 2 days agoThe trouble is Google’s definition of malicious apps. Are adblockers malicious? How about alternative apps for YouTube? Based on the recent history, I don’t think you will be able to install those apps on the phone you purchased.

Yes, I agree. Google will use this to control the Android app ecosystem beyond the Play Store and I don’t like it either
