I don't know how your comment addresses my comment and the article you mentioned is long. But since you replied, you know what you meant, so could you share your particular argument?

The "traffic" did not incentivize "publishers" (as they call themselves) to produce any valuable content.. instead, it incentivized them to produce SEO garbage that's not helpful and often deceptive.

Very good. Google created this SEO garbage so now they can (and should) put an end to it.

Google is smart enough to not make things that obvious, but let's not get fooled.. the point is that if API changes would negatively impact Google products financially, they'd not go through. But if they impact a competitor, it&#x

On stock Android? How? I know how to do this on LineageOS.

So you say the user is in control on Android? Like, I can overrule Google when it comes to Google Play Services permissions? I can now deny apps internet access?

I don't care about games I don't download. I don't see a problem with the fact that if I download and execute a binary file on linux without explicit sandbox, it can mess up my system, that's my responsibility. Google pr

by zb3 1y ago
No, they just use the "security" argument in bad faith, so third party apps can't compete with builtin ones made by Google.

People on this site will never ever learn that if a company (especially a profitable one) invests into something and then gives it away for free, there must be some kind of strings attached.

I guess it's the "additional binaries" which are not included.. but that's a guess, we need someone to confirm.

In Europe, banking apps block root but still work on a custom OS (like LineageOS) without contactless payments. I guess this is because many people here buy Chinese phones and they just can't ignore them.
