I don't think anyone would have a problem if this was a simple opt-in system like downloading unofficial apk's on android. Only a select few would be opting in, and those are not the core audience that Google is pretending to be security conscious about.
Giving no ability to switch on this ability for a normal user makes Google lose face with the general tech community. I don't understand the reasons behind this.
- itcmcgrath 13y agoAgreed. You would think for security you would stop driving technical people to have to use admin for everything... 1 step forwards, 2 steps back.
- Jochim 13y agoDon't you usually want to limit non-admin users from installing things you don't know about anyway?
- Newky 13y agoIf this was something that a lot of admin users wanted to restrict from their users surely Google could have made the complete disabling of this feature from all users available in the admin panel. But that should be an opt in feature for the admin.
