The only third party store that should be allowed is fdroid (or fios ig), everything else that is sideloaded is either malware or pirated apps
Yea, because with cydia zebra and sileo, you can only install malware /s
thats not what i meant, i meant that it just opens the door for malware. And even with android, how many people actually install apks? Not many, bcs everything is there on the play store.
Have a read of this: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/19/all-the-changes-coming-to-google-play-and-sideloading-following-700m-settlement/
Sideloading is a lot harder on Android than it should be.
You just have to open the apk and click install, how is thay hard?
