We'll be sharing a stand with @shiftphones and @BlissLabs, showing just what a great experience our little corner of #Android can be.

Repairable devices, a FOSS #AOSP ROM and an "app store" (or repository if you prefer) for all the privacy and user respecting apps you could want to run on it :)

Of course the teamwork doesn't end there, we'll love to tell you more at the stand :)

Google cancels plans to require Android application certification outside of the Play Store

Only a few months ago, Google announced it was going to require that all Android applications - even those installed outside of the Play Store - had to be verified. This led to a massive backlash, and it seems our protests and complaints have had effect:

Interesting how Facebook & co declare queries to android.intent.action.MAIN to bypass restrictions on the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGE permission.

It allows them to get the list of all the apps installed on your system.

To make the open web safer, Google is launching *website owner verification*. Starting in 2026, Google will require all websites to be registered in order to be opened on Chrome.

All website owners are encouraged to sign up for early access. This is the best way to get ready and stay updated.

To get verified, all you need to do is providing your personal details, upload an official ID, and pay a 25$.

For hobbyists, Google is working on another console so you can add every Google accounts that are allowed to see your website.

And as Google is committed to keep the web open, they will provide a command line interface to open a single page of a non-verified website, but it's very dangerous and your Chrome will lose its certification. This will allow banks to forbid access to their website from non-certified Chrome.

I have a rather peculiar #Android problem.
- I use personalDNSfilter (zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsf…) to block ads system-wide. It's basically like running a local pi-hole using a local VPN.
- I would also like to use Orbot (#Tor) and run some apps (specifically Nextcloud) that don't natively support proxying through Orbot's VPN.

The problem is, Android won't let me run two VPNs at the same time. And blocking ads without a VPN would require rooting my phone, which I don't want to do. However:
- personalDNSfilter can expose the DNS server on port 5300 without using the VPN (which is useless in itself).
- Orbot can expose its HTTP and SOCKS proxy without using the VPN (which is also useless in itself).

Is there some way to setup a custom VPN that would combine these two things, i.e., let me route some apps through Orbot's proxy and use the local DNS server (provided by personalDNSfilter) at port 5300? I was looking at OpenVPN for Android (github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn), but I'm honestly really confused. Help please? 😅 Boosts appreciated.

The servers were deployed a few weeks ago. However, our next app update had unexpected bugs, delaying its release.

As a result, updates for all apps have been delayed since. We apologize for the delay and hope to resolve it by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience!
