There are very broad consequences for a world that no longer accesses the web primarily through Google Search. We're building for that too!

New comment by lukaslevert in "Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android"

lukaslevert — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 13:49:00 +0000

Doesn't this kill two birds with one stone?

Forcing users to pay for apps rather than install pirated APK's and unlocked apps both raises Google's revenue and reduces the risks of malware and scams.

The consequence is naturally, the savvy users who know how to avoid risks lose the ability to have more control over their phone.

Dunno about DDG but on Brave Search you can turn off the AI summaries if you prefer not to have them. Disclosure: I work at Brave.

The irony is it’ll likely be the opposite.

n8n is a unique name that for now I think works to differentiate them. Time will tell if they keep it.
