With Google Blocking APK Sideloading Next Year......

[K202020K]

I have a stupid question:
Why wanna sideload?

Some of the damn solid apps are not available in Google play store. Example is the SnapTube app because it is a competitor to YouTube.
Some older apps that are ad-free are no longer available in Google play store for example the Battery Solo Widget version 4.1 etc.
Google deliberately banished great apps that are ad-free. They want those with advertising dollars to boost their earnings.
I hope they get fined heavily by EU antitrust regulators.
Now many great apps of yesteryears cannot be installed on newer Android operating systems. They are ad-free and storage space saving. Please Like my explanation. Thank you bro..

its more the chipset rather than phone. but gaming wise the so-call gaming phones come with extra coolers u can attach to phone. a lot of this is attributed to the gpu actually........

Yea some phones not for games also hv better inner cooling system also.

So cannot sideload SGpools, 抖音 and pinduoduo next year?

don't think totally block sideload entirely.

some companies build mobile apps for internal use, and are hosted in internal repositories. if google blanket block sideload, quite a number of business will be impacted, especially those companies that provide solution for internal hosting use case.

I'm using all those on my Huawei phone. The other 2 could be optional but no sgpools? That's a killer.

Side loading is security risk. If you use your hp to access banks, ewallet, cpf, etc. don’t allow it.

i think rooting is already out of many ppl's mind already. they have made it already very difficult and they have also hired topjohnwoo, which forced him to opensource his project instead of just having him 1 person as the lead developer

and many of us common users can tahan the 5 sec unskippable youtube ads, x 1 in the front of the video, sounds alright
but slowly it grows to 30 sec unskippable, 2 ads in the front, ads in the middle, for everything! (i think even staying alive, a song people use to pace for CPR, also got ads)

cos of evil and uncaring eco system and customers feeling fed up, that's why alternatives spring up, just like government (but this one is LL lah, we live in Singapore)

everyone knows, biz need to earn money. if u push even the most noob person to install vaced (on android) and ublock origin (chrome) cos they are fed up with the ads, something is wrong already.

In other words it becum like free to air tv where a 30 minute show is around 20 minutes nia with other 10 minutes being 2-3 ad interruptions during the show and after the show. The VHS recorder and later HDD recorder were wonderful for dat. Juz press fast forward button a few times. Then DTV happened and cannot leecord anymoar so I totally stopped watching TV.
