Google has decided to copy one of the worst things about iPhones and iOS, announcing plans to make it significantly harder to sideload apps onto your phone. In fact, it might even be impossible in some cases, because Google wants to restrict the feature to "verified" developers.
Which, if you can read between the lines, means sideloading will only be possible if Google actively approves the apps and developers in question. So if you have something Google doesn't like, such as Fortnite or some kind of ad-blocker, then odds are you're not going to be able to install it on your Android phone.
