Proposal: Keep Android Open — Add “Allow sideloading Unverified Apps” Option instead of Blocking Sideloading completely

So hello everyone, I have a great idea on how for google and us the community can compromise with the sideloader community, so instead of blocking sideloading unverified apps completely, we could instead make that the default, but let us the users change a setting like "Allow sideloading unverified apps" in the settings, this would make a good compromise, please push this so google hears it, lets not destroy android ...

Google is testing a new Hex input in Chrome for Android that lets you set separate colors for the New Tab Page background and browser UI elements. And the feature that applies the dominant color of the image you set as the NTP background to the rest of the browser UI is now working in Chrome Canary.

Best password manager for Android that isn’t Google or Samsung Pass?

For anyone who’s switched away from Google and Samsung’s built-in options, what’s the best password manager for Android right now? I used LastPass before the breaches and haven’t gone back. I’m looking at Bitwarden, NordPass, and 1Password since they all seem popular and have decent Android apps. I need something secure, with autofill that actually works and ideally a free or affordable plan. Any major pros or cons between these three? Is Bitwarden still the top pick for security and ease of use...

Xiaomi branded phones are coming to Australia for the first time ever with the launch of the Xiaomi 15t and 15t Pro on 10 Oct at noon AEDT

See here:

Exciting news down under. Before now, only Redmi phones have been available locally in Australia. Hopefully we eventually get the top tier ultra phones.

Of course, I just imported a 15t pro from Amazon UK for $300 more than the Australian price....
