    Will this kill FDroid ? I imagine yes since you have to install it from a download.

      My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.

        They don’t care about those.

        They want revanced and other ad circumvention tools out.

        They ARE an ad company, you know?

      And especially any youtube app that blocks ads. OF COURSE Google will never allow Newpipe, Revanced, FreeTube and so on to be installed on Android phones ever again.

        None of those have worked for me on Android since a couple of months.

        Firefox with uBlock Origin is the last bastion, and don’t think that’s not on their radar.

          Hey don’t mind me, I’m just gonna whip out my steamdeck (that I already have) to watch a youtube video using the desktop firefox. (Yes I know its 720p, but whatever lol, its good enough for gaming, its good enough for youtube)
