Google just gave Android power users a sideloading win

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Google is extending its Android sideloading controls with a 24-hour delay for installing apps from unknown developers, while allowing an opt-out that can be transferred to future devices. ADB remains unaffected, and power users can eventually bypass delays on subsequent installs or new devices via an open advanced flow. The change aims to balance security concerns with flexibility for developers and power users.
