That is a very good thing. I wish they also made "install from unknown sources" a bit harder.
Don't get me wrong, I love openness. But there must be a barrier of entry.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoThat would have been acceptable if in parallel Google didn't own Google Play... Remember how installing apk's was claimed to be a viable alternative to Google Play for even the average user ?
- panpanna 7y agoYes, that's a real problem. At the same time, as long as Google is very clear why they are doing that I think they will be okay. After all, they already do this on Chromebook. Now, why should they do this? Because I have seen malware sites tricking people into first enabling 3rd party apps and then installing their apk.
