@BleepingComputer That's such a BS title. It's not sideloading, it's using your phone by installing apps you want. Google Play apps are riddled with malware and privacy invasive tech. Nobody cares why your alarm clock needs to track your movements or share data with 3212 partners. But God forbid you want to install an open source app from a friend. You better register and give Google your address, photo , ID, phone and other data. Lovely
