We need a dedicated Green Light with Dev guidelines for Android games. Or at least a separate store section for them. I really don't want to get flooded by low-effort mobile games.

The code doesn't do anything on non-Google domains.

A Google engineer adds a piece of code, does not document what exactly it does, and it was approved without question. Something is seriously wrong with this or I don't know how the Chromium project works.

True. We can also not run code at all and be perfectly safe.

I wish there was a comparison. Number of 0days in open source and 0days in closed source for comparible projects and a measure for time to mitigate the 0days.

I am no expert on code-auditing. But I'm slightly at peace that there are 100s of experts looking at the code because it's open-source. But i also understand mistakes can still happen. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best solution so far.

Remember this thumb rule -> if it's not open-source, you are allowing the software to do whatever it wants to do.

No regulation, law, support group is going to help you. You are digging your own grave.

While I welcome Android games on Steam, a part of me is repulsed by how Android game devs treat their customers; in-game ads, horrendous amount of mtx, p2w. Not saying that Steam games don't suffer mtx but it's way lesser.

Anyway, let's see how it goes.

Pun police: Stop right there, criminal scum! You have violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence!

Way too cultured

Those that try to hide or shift blame of mistakes are a bigger red flag in my book.

People, please; look at this.

It's inevitable that mistakes will happen.

I remember the good old times when testers has to check if their sites work on Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari/Edge.

And you could simply have a separate Firefox profile rather than spinning up an entire virtual machine.

This is what I do. Even though there is nothing wrong with the Qubes approach, I think it's overkill unless you are hiding from nation-state attackers.
