    • enabled by default
    • gets to log your searches
    • could provide its own, altered version of an app you are looking for

        that’s right, but it’s enabled by default, and as a result it will affect lots of users who did not think about this. that’s the power of defaults.

            on my phone the vivo app store source is enabled by default in the search menu. compared to your screenshot, all but gitlab is been pre-selected. some of them may be how I set it up some time ago, but before I updated it a few days ago the vivo app store option was not there, and on friends phones I have seen it in the last months too that this source is enabled right after installing obtanium
