Is that an Android fork or something new developed from scratch?
As I recall it’s forked from Android originally, but they’ve diverged quite a bit at this point.
Why reinvent the Weel Android has the potential to be the most Secure OS.
compared to iOS, sure, but hardly the most secure of all operating systems
It is because it isolates apps and stops apps from using permissions it isnt allowed to use. In windows mac and linux programs just have access to all the user has access to which is very insecure. + on phones programs are most of the time installed by an appstore, so no installing viruses by beeing a idiot.
The permission system on Android (at least any version of Android I’ve seen) is far from exhaustive. On Linux, FreeBSD, etc., you can set fine-grained restrictions (including network access) if you know what you’re doing
Thats a big if. But on linux you cant by default on most distros isolate programs like you can on android.
if “by default” you mean without installing any additional software, no (unless you’re willing to configure the firewall), but last time I checked you can’t restrict network access on most Android devices by default either
In a user frendly manner would be a better wording. But the bigger thing is the sandboxing android does. That doesnt exist on desktop OSs.
Wouldnt it make more sense to keep Android App Compatibility? I dont really see any good reson to not still support apks.
I mean, they are searching for almost full disassociation from android at this point, so I don’t see why they would seek that. Pretty sure once they fully port the biggest apps used by chinese netizens (微信，微博，小红书, etc.) people won’t care about apks.
