It's worth noting that Android already allows such things and there has been no malware apocalypse. In all the years Android existed I've never encountered someone with a malware filled phone. People stick with the default app store and are fine.
Agree about the EU though.
- bun_at_work 4y agoThe entire history of Android is filled with malware stories. Google has gotten better about moderating their PlayStore, but there have been plenty of flashlight apps or similarly dumb apps that are just rootkits, bitcoin miners, or more malicious forms of malware.
- izacus 4y agoAppStore is also filled with malware apps (including explotative flashlight apps and apps that trick you into subscriptions). Yours is a throughly debunked argument.
- rad_gruchalski 4y agoAwesome, there will be more of those soon.
- kevincox 4y agoYou are talking about malware in the official app store, not how installing software via alternative appstores or without an app store is worse.
