“This is Android’s new ‘advanced flow’ for INSTALLING apps without verification”. Sideloading is such a bullshit term made only to confuse consumers. They can wrap that in sparkling wrapper, but it’s still security theater at best and definetly misleading. Apps from F-Droid or any other app ‘store’ are not any less safe than the ones at googles own offering.

The advanced flow is not for “installing apps”. It’s for sideloaded apps.
Semantics, no? Side loading is an alternate way of installing.
Yes, it is, thank you.
