    Could you imagine Laptop manufacturers saying "do NOT download apps from other websites. ONLY download from the Windows App Store"

    Like, fuck off Pichai, you're insane

    Are phones the only devices out there that receive such scrutiny in the tech world?? My laptop can literally do the exact same thing but better

    I agree with him. If you don't know what you are doing and just blindly install something off the Internet, it's a security concern. I would not recommend that most users side-load apps, either. You have to remember that this crowd is not representative of the average user.

    Just don't take the option away from those of us who do know what they are doing.

    Sorry, not sorry, not giving up on New Pipe. Best ad-free YouTube experience, period.

    If we're not careful there will be a new generation of users who have no concept of "apps" at all, and will conflate sideloading (or anything 'not authorized') with an illegal process.
