    I don’t think it’s quite a bad as the title implies, though I wonder how long this slow process of locking down Android will contained continue for. Hopefully the EU demands from the likes of Epic will stop too much control being taken away from the user.

      Is control really taken away? It seems as though it simply added a couple steps to help people avoid giving default permissions to bad actors.

        Yeah that’s the thing, as an isolated change it seems like a good step for security, but I’m concerned it could be part of a larger frog-boiling.
