I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.
Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.
Yes, but they’re two separate issues. Many apps that don’t care whether you have root or a third-party Android build use Google’s libraries.
Patching apps is another workaround. It won’t beat server-side checks, but I think those are still fairly rare. ReVanced makes it easy to do, though I’m not sure there are patches related to SafetyNet yet.
