@azure @phnt @Sentaro thats what i currently do. I have a pixel for home use. Newpipe already updated with a message saying that they're going to stop updating on mainline android phones meaning the only users they'll have left are the 10 schizos paranoid enough to install graphene (a project thats also untrustworthy)
@phnt @Sentaro @azure ill see if i can find the original but as verbatim as i can remember it:

"Early next year, Google will be preventing side loading from non-verified developers. Devs will need to give their personal information to Google to be approved for the program. As the developers do not agree with this, we will no longer be making new releases for stock Android"
@rosey @phnt @azure @Sentaro I don't know, as there was no such option given at the time as I recall. It doesnt matter though. Google pulled this exact same thing with manifest v3 where they said "haha just kidding we'd" never do that and then did it anyway. Same thing with verified environment

Google has a well recorded history of blatantly lying by boiling the frog over a few months.

"It's just an option bro" is cope. They'll yank that too
