    I mean… This is kind of why I never let people use my phone.

    I have installations from various sources enabled… Like my browser, because I know what I’m doing. But I wouldn’t trust anyone as the process is currently effortless…

    If someone is trying to install spyware on you (like a partner or parent.) this might offer some notification and prevention.

    I don’t really see the big deal. You do it once, enable it forever, and wipe up those tears.

    I think a better way would just to have maybe like a biometric/pin confirmation upon installation. Simple. Clean.

      they want to suppress the developers, not users. By making it so bothersome, so many people will just stop using sources from outside google play. First they do this and at some later time they will add more hoops to it. If they manage to strangle any developers that make stuff, people will have nowhere to turn yet they cant complain either because google will have undeniable monopoly.
