    On Android you can have other app stores, why don’t you have?

    I do I have a Samsung store. Beyond that, the ability to sideload apps is a huge reason I use Android and IOS sucks. I also have apps I’ve loaded off of web sites and my own LAN.

      Some apps can’t be posted on store fronts for one or more reasons.

      Side loading definitely has its place and is a welcome change to iOS.

        Why is pornhub obvious? Americans are so prude, it hurts my brain. God forbid there are nipples somewhere! But murder is fine.

          School Shootings on the news during the day, where every kid can see it. No wonder there are that many gun nuts, they have to be terrified.

        Don’t forget the apps that get banned because they dare to undermine the store owner’s profit by presenting free alternatives to their awful paid versions.

        Like NewPipe and the Youtube app that can’t even play video’s with the screen off.

        The pornhub app has been discontinued over half a year ago, and they closed the API. So even if you have the old one installed, it doesn’t work but will instead forward you to the mobile website.
