Google: “Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified. We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren’t tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands.”
Thank god. I would’ve ditched Android for good if this went through, and while it sounds like it would be annoying for casual users to enable unverified apps, at least we can still install them.
Literally idk why people are saying “If this happens I’ll switch to an iPhone”
Like bruh Apple is even a more closed off walled garden? What sort of sense does that make to switch to something twice as expensive and gives you absolutely no control?
Even if Google decided to implement this in the future, I will never switch to an iPhone and neither should you
This feels like Americans voting behavior. “The thing I liked has gone to shit, so as a protest I will take double shit with extra piss”
Lol its like the Americans going “I’ll just move to China”…
Me as a someone who was born in mainland China and gained US Citizenship:
(meanwhile my grandmother just obtained US Citizenship too lmao)
Trust me iBro, apple’s great, just ask their shareholders.
