    They probably worked towards these two goals of Google : We made it even harder to do anything without using our property crap, yet again./ made side loading impossible or we’re making it more difficult cause we want you use our app store only. All For security of course.

      Maybe read the article instead of just making shit up and getting mad about it. It specifically calls out a feature that’s rumored to be in the works (emphasis mine):

      An update ownership feature that allows a third-party app store to be the sole source of automatic updates for a given app. It looks like Google will harness this feature for select Google apps too.

      Kind of the opposite of what your speculation says, no?

        Are you seriously defending a company that want to (forcefully ) push DRM on webpages ?

        Secondly, It’s the Freaking UE forcing those bastards to open up, they’re not doing it because it’s better for the user. I don’t need to read any article, every time i update to a new version of crapdroid, nothing changes, it eat more ram and battery and is locked further. (for security reasons, of course )

        Don’t montion IPhone, i don’t want to be considered too stupid to use my stuff correctly thank you.( a legit apple stance )

            Bro. Did you even read what i said ? It’s a personal experience. Am a power user and know shit being done to make it harder to install. I have an old phone on android 7 and one on 12 and it definitely become harder to sideload and update apps.
