Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

India (among other countries) was supposed to get FirefoxOS . If it was in North America, I would have snapped it up. A low cost device ecosystem that could have grown, alas. India has the choice of American (Google Android) or Chinese (HarmonyOS), but for now, thankfully, all have F-Droid until The Empire says otherwise. @vdbhb59 Thanks for solidarity.
