Google has used security as a red herring repeatedly to restrict user rights and suppress the competition, and now they will offer better integration for third-party app stores in Android 12, because governments around the world are breathing down on Google's neck.
- cute_boi 6y agoTrue they are just trying to avoid due to government intervention but they will do slowly anyway. But I know andriod 12 third party will definitely comes with many hiccups so user are forced to use playstore anyway.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoAs a user, I don't care why they're implementing it, only that it's available. I've been complaining about this exact problem for years, so I'm happy that it is finally getting resolved (if it is getting resolved — Google's statements about what Android 12 will allow have been pretty vague). Also, as far as I know, Google hasn't used the security excuse for not implementing it. I just assumed that this wasn't going to get prioritized over OS features that enable Google to make more money.
