I do not agree with Google on preventing apk installation. But unknown apk is a different risk profile than letting unknown entities to access local usb devices. The main issue in the former case is that google is posing itself as a gatekeeper instead of following a repo model like Debian or FreeBSD. That’s wanting control over people’s device. Allowing USB access is just asking to break the browser sandbox, by equating the browser with the operating system. | ||
