Edit: Replaced “Restrictions” in place of the word “Ban”

    I’ll need to see what the fuck their answer for personal installs are…my pixel 10 comes in tomorrow THIS WEEKEND (ugh) so by the time I run the wheels off of it, I will know if I’m staying on android or moving to iOS and doing a $99 developer cert

    At least apple isn’t fucking judging what you sideload

    Edit: cert on android is cheaper…if I’m forced to go that route I’ll stick with Google

      Um no lol. Fuck Google, Fuck Apple. Big corp always suck.

      But lets compare both of their stores.

      Apple App Store has zero usable torrent clients.

      Lets take a look at Google Play Store. Yep, there’s like 5 of them.

      Also, Google Play Store only charges you a $25 one time fee for a developer account. You need $99 per year for apple.

      Fuck this sideloading restriction bullshit, but even with the autocratization taken into account, Android would probably still be better (for the near future at least, I can’t predict what Google would do in 10+ years, but torrent clients have been on the Play Store for like a decade now).

      Also, Android allows real browsers. Firefox and browser extensions. Again, idk what Google is gonna do in 10 years, but extensions have been on the official Play Store version of Firefox for a while.

        If that’s the case I’ll stick with Google if I have to have a developer account to sideload with impunity…thanks for this info

        WebKit is shit. I forgot about my uBlock origin Firefox combo

        Also, Android allows real browsers. Firefox and browser extensions.

        iOS has allowed non-Safari browsers for close to a decade, now. Otherwise I mostly agree
