What would be my options as an end user who does not want to root his device

>>camdro+j6
Cry in a corner ig?

>>aydyn+Q6
Maybe use iphone? There will be not much advantages left on Android side after that shit gets go.

>>zx8080+o7
Even without side loading there are several advantages and freedoms that Android has unmatched.

>>polite+s9
such as? Curious, because on iOS you can freely install browser extensions (adblockers like uBlock origin lite) from the get go. Still boggles my mind that Chrome does not allow extensions.

>>little+P9
Alternative browser engines, JIT-compilation support (enables apps like Koreader), ability to completely disable animations, etc.

>>cybera+og
Alternate browser engines are now possible in the EU, there is just not much interest in porting to iOS. To me it sounds just bad UX that the first thing you need to do on Chrome to enable Adblock is to switch browser, vs. just installing an extension with the default browser that probably 90%+ of Android users use.
