Google phones peaked with the Nexus phones. Pixels have been a downgrade ever since.

Really makes you wonder why the bot here always pushes the idea that Apple users are Indians. Fuckers can’t afford the shit it has never made sense.

Don't care, iPhone still doesn't have a browser with uBlock Origin and Android still does

At least we had the choice for longer. iPhone sets those trends to begin with so it's still an Android W.

Is there a specific Android version that will add this new requirement? Can you just keep using old versions of Android to maintain to ability to sideload in the short term?

That's not even remotely as good as ublock origin, enjoy waiting days for a new youtube blocklist, garbage.

I've been using a pixel 6 pro since it was released and thinking about upgrading soon. After these changes I'm probably just going to buy an iphone 17 when it comes out.

Ironically by copying Apple, not so much their shitty locked down ecosystem but by adopting Apple's standards and peer reviewing an culling all the slop made in New Deli.

>>Can unlock the bootloader
Not if you own a Samsung, expect others to copy their shitty policies.
>>Install lineageOS
Oh I don't think Google will ever fully remove that ability (any time soon) they'll just nullify the desire to for the average consumer by slowly turning Android as a whole into a closed source OS and essentially lock third party developers out of major security updates and vulnerability patches and it will slowly evolve into it's own ecosystem entirely compared to stock Android that you'll see more differences than similarities. And at that point you might as well just buy a LinuxPhone (non Android phone) because non the the benefits of running Android in the first place will be available anymore outside of running LoonixTroons6969_MinimalistCalculator and playing some old games on it.

Google is going for a slowly boil the frog to death a approach, I pray that Jeet hubris will cause them to just outright go bankrupt and become little more than a zombie corporation like Yahoo but I think we're a long ways away from that actually happening.

Not him but anything made in Japan, Malaysia, China, or Taiwan (China minus communism) is a good start.

That's the thing, they can't really do that without requiring ALL software ran on Android to be reviewed, hence why they're essentially getting rid of the ability to load APKs in the first place. I think this is one of the rare cases where they're actually doing something with good intentions in mind but the short-term effects less so harms the consumer and more so just pisses them off. I just hope mihon devs (The only APK only app I currently give a shit about) start gearing up for this so that their app is actually usable.
