    They are taking away our ability which was previously taken for granted, and some are presenting it as a favour google is granting. Android users are able to install apks in seconds. A 24 hour wait is a trade-off for the user. Nobody should accept this.

      A one-time 24 hour wait is an acceptable trade-off. I’m a power user. I’m enabling various developer options on my new device anyway, what’s one more process?

      So much hysteria over this that I fully expect to turn out to be an absolute nothingburger once it’s live.
