minus-square@WhoRogerlinkEnglish17•2 years agoI was surprised when some recent Android introduced the option for non-GPlay apps to auto-update on the background. Maybe it’s just so that Google can avoid be called a monopoly, same with their support of Firefox. EU also has some regulations in mind to force these vendors to allow installation of other apps, so we’ll see.
