To be somewhat fair there, side loading an app should really have a giant warning, otherwise it would be really easy to trick less knowledgeable users into installing actual malware. It would be nice to have an easier way to install third party app stores, but to install an APK from a website/browser really should have a giant warning.
Worlds better than the competition that outright bans side loading other than a weird "only x number of apps" and "must reinstall every x days".
I miss the Ouya... Totally impractical but even more awesome.
Out of curiosity which game was it? The Amazing Frog game?
Shuckle! Hilariously indestructible. Oh, he doesn't have a good attack stat, that's ok he'll just toxic your Pokemon and watch it struggle to do any damage.
I just spent a lot of imaginary money in Pokemon Revolution Online (unofficial Pokemon mmo) to get a special holiday form (kind of like shiny, but holiday themed).
Achievement unlocked! Downvote the tyrant!
That is either a brilliant troll, or an hilarious catch by user Sara7061.
That hasn't been my experience in many many years, but it was an issue at one time. It's possible that proper content filtering is making up for the difference in performance.
It's possible, but I don't know for sure. I refuse to run Chrome because we don't need another browser monopoly to stifle innovation.
The Internet Explorer era was terrible, and we STILL have broken things that only support a now dead browser. So many things went all in on proprietary Microsoft standards for Internet Explorer, and now you cannot use them. Most older camera DVRs and stand alone ip cameras fall into that category.
Another example: I can't say which company, but a very large company you've almost definitely heard of, required that all of their vendors buy all raw material from their subsidiary, but you had to use a site that not only was Internet Explorer only, but an extremely out of date Internet Explorer only. basically you had to have an xp machine up to a couple years after xp was no longer supported, to order several thousands of dollars of raw material.
All it would take for this to happen again is for Google to release a new API or "feature" that legally or technically a browser like Firefox cannot implement. Then if they decide they don't like that standard or Google actually miraculously gets broken up for being a monopoly/anti competitive everything that uses it will again no longer be usable.
Fun fact, aside from the annoying "this page is better in Chrome" messages on multiple Google sites, Google literally serves a totally different page to Firefox mobile users than mobile Chrome users. It's not a compatible issue, because of you take the user agent settings to claim it's Chrome, magically you get the full Google site. Also add much as I hate to reference Edge... it had significantly better performance on YouTube until magically it didn't anymore. It's almost as if Google purposely made competing browsers slower on their sites, when Edge and more recent Firefox releases work faster on non Google sites. Microsoft even gave up on the original Edge and just forked Chrome.
It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

Firefox based browsers literally will not have this problem at all.
Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.
I think a lot of it has to do with the constant updating bug. I burned through 50gb's of data in a few days using the webpage, where the apps sip data. I really wish Android had a "hey, something is burning!" for data usage like that..
I downvoted everything Spez has done that I could and so far no ban.
Also didn't the mobile site have a create post button? I don't see one at all on the mobile site now. Did they remove the ability to post from the mobile site?
