So a lot of speculation and we don't know much except 2 paragraphs in the FAQ... I'd like to mention though, they've recently stripped the Pixel devices of their status as developer devices and now push for their emulator for development. Once they follow that kind of logic, there isn't really a reason to keep ADB working as is, at least not on real devices.

they always do this to gaslight us into accepting things we would not. when blocking installs from outside gplay is a possibility, further restricting it is a relief, not the outrage it should still be.

that or they got a feel for it and decided to settle with less restriction. for now.

the permanent solution as always is deposing them from this position of enormous power and monopoly. easy said.

Since Google’s goal is to improve security

This is an obvious lie.

Which means I can make an app for this "Sideloading" by shizuku..

Call sideloading what it is, installing apps.

This is actually worse than integration in Play Protect which can be disabled very easily. Now you can only install unsigned apps via ADB which means just developers can do it.
