What was Google protecting us from?
Adblockers apparently
Certainly not from malware. The play store is the central repository of Android malware.
Privacy and choice.
In theory malicious android apps. In practice they create locked ecosystems that are hard for anyone to break in. No one wants another apple model.
Indeed... If I wanted a locked down toy I would have bought an iThing.
From what they're going to do to you if they're not protecting you.
