Android could soon be a very different place.

The neat part of this is that they're requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won't allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

    if this means easily being able to tell Google Play Services to fuck off without having to do sketchy things to people’s phones then yay.

    This doesn't. The article's title is pretty bad since it's mostly about google play store. 3rd party app stores need to be allowed onto the google play store instead of being sideload only.
