Solve : Google evicts ad-blocking software from Google Play store? |
|
Answer» Quote The open nature of the Android platform means that for skilled users, the REMOVAL of the apps from the Google Play Store is more a nuisance than an actual deterrent. For example, AdAway, one of the popular applications, can still be obtained by following the instructions on the developer's page and switching to F-Droid, an open alternative to the Google Play store.

B) I'm not impressed with any app that isn't hosted/allowed at the Play Store. Opens up opportunity for malware authors to offer/host infected versions.I would agree but in this case it's AdBlock... It's more of an issue of Google throwing their weight around... For example i spotted this today... Full Story... They WANT AdBlock to RESPECT their app store... But they don't want to respect others. Seems they want it both ways...I blame Google more than ABP. So much for their 'open platform' image I have so strongly endorsed...What i meant when i mentioned AdBlock is i doubt there would be a malware package attached to it... What i went on to illustrate is it is in fact Google that is being the bully in this...and just want to play by their rules...noone else's. Just to clarify...Gotcha. When people have to look for downloads outside of the Play Store it's inevitable some will be tricked into a fake "OFFICIAL" download site.
