yay! more bloatware!
Who asked? If they cared about users they would install F-droid not Epic store.
They can go fuck themselves if it’s installed as a system app
It probably will have to to satisfy anti-monopoly rulings: allow app installation to be as seamless as Play Store (which has root access or similar).
No, that would just require the permisson for the Epic Store to install APKs to be granted out of the box, no need for it to be a system app for that
If the permission is granted, the native/session APK installer still handles every install and update, including its “Do you want to install/update this app?” popup. Only root and system apps can do installs and updates silently.
Never buy a phone through a service provider.
Manufactuer website
Example: iPhones - apple.com; Samsung Galaxy - samsung.com; Motorola Phones - motorola.com; Google Pixels - store.google.com
Or go to your local BestBuy
Or Amazon (although, I personally would avoid Amazon for expensive electronics)
Perhaps with this extra bloatware it’ll weaken Google’s hold, here’s hoping that that will drive us to get full control of our digital lives
