PlayProtect Entered chat <installs f-droid> Prevented install <installs f-droid> Prevented install <installs f-droid> Prevented install <googles for install apk> does the dumb dev tab dance, that'll likely be removed later, and enables "3rd party apk" <installs f-droid> Playprotect wants to block it cause "scary" Have to select "dont scan" Playprotect keeps pestering you about turning back on and scanning

Now this doesn't match my experience at all. The most extreme thing you can do to trigger Play Protect (besides installing an app with a known virus) is to install a self signed apk. Even then it is 2 clicks to bypass. Common APKs like F-Droid won't trigger Play Protect. It's almost exactly like SmartScreen on Windows. Also just disable play protect globally?
