To be honest, im more than Tired of this whole “Mimimi, Google is restricting installing Android apps, so its worse than iOS now Mimimi”
So heres 4 Options, how to Opt out of Gservices, and therefore not have this whole Debacle of Verified Apps, in varying degrees of Difficuilty from “3 Year old iPad kid can do this” (Aka install Via Browser) to “You have to Copy 3 Text snippets and Paste them”, to even “Order Online”.
And before everyone starts Crying, there are more than Enough Apps and Alternatives to the Propriatery stuff youve been using until now. No, you dont need a Burgerking App, no, you dont need an App for Kaufland. They are Selling your Data, and thats the only reason they Exist. If you consent with having your Data sold, you have no reason to opt out of Gapps anyway.

If your in the US or the west in general, geopolitics kind of suggests that buying any Chinese tech product is kind of questionable. What could go wrong.
Oh no, overseas might know as much about me as my fascist government does!! Seriously, when I ditch the US, I might start worrying about China, but until then, I hope my FBI/NSA handler and CCP spy meet up for drinks on the regular to mock my shitposts.
