Having the centralized app store as the only way to install apps by default was always a mistake, a blot on the elegant "hackability" of Android as a platform.

Having the centralized app store as the only way to install apps by default was always a mistake, a blot on the elegant "hackability" of Android as a platform. I wish Google's hegemony wasn't so prevalent and common people were at least aware that they can sideload apps on their Android phones.
- varispeed 6y agoIt is probably possible to sideload only because it's not popular. If people were abandoning the Play Store en masse, I think Google would remove that in no time.
