Absolute bullshit Google. You have no right telling me what I can and cannot run on my own devices. Regardless of how I choose to install it.

Yep, it's as bad as everyone expected it to be. "We aren't taking away sideloading, we're just going to fully control it now! No Google-unapproved code on user devices! For security reasons!"

Chrome isn't enough. We need Android to get clawed away from Google too.
