Notebookcheck has received written confirmation from Google that it deliberately blocked the installation of benchmarks on its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices during the review embargo period. It confirms our earlier report on the issue while raising questions about the company’s practices.
That’s still not great. You still end up with “make it more difficult from installing”. How about “…undertaken by Google to make it impossible, or at least more difficult, for reviewers to install…”?
Yeah, something like that. I didn’t want to rework the entire sentence but it’s so awkward.
