Google's solution to the malware problem on Android has been revealed. It wants app developers to verify their identity, even if they distribute their apps outside the Google Play Store.

Here's a brief overview of how requirements stand currently. Developers who distribute their apps via the Google Play Store must accept the Play Console Requirements (Android Developer Console). They have to provide Google the following information:

• Legal name and address
• D-U-N-S number, if registering as an organization
• Contact email address and phone number
• Developer email address and phone number shown on Google Play where applicable
• Payment methods where applicable
• Google payment profile linked to your developer account
• An official government ID may also be required

(Source 1, 2)

App developers who distribute their apps via third-party sources like GitHub, F-Droid, etc., don't have to provide all this information to Google. Anyone with the knowledge and skill to develop apps can create and upload apps on the internet, anonymously.

That's what's changing. Google's new policy could make sideloading apps harder. The very first line on Google's announcement says, "You shouldn’t have to choose between open and secure." Android has always been open, giving users the freedom to do what they want. Google seems to be drifting away from this.

It says that malicious actors use anonymity to impersonate legitimate apps, and use their brand image to create convincing fake apps. Ah yes, the good old security card. That's straight out of Apple's playbook.

Google claims its recent analysis found over 50 times more malware from sideloaded apps than those available on Google Play. There, you said it yourself, even Google Play is prone to malware. What about Google Play Protect? Does it not scan apps for malware?  It doesn't matter, the Mountain View company has decided that an additional layer of security is required, developer verification.

"Starting next year, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed by users on certified Android devices." Certified Android devices refers to any device that utilities Google Mobile Services including the Play Store, that's practically 99% of devices out there. So, any app, whose developer who has not verified their identity, will be prevented from being installed on Android devices.

Google is building a new Android Developer Console for apps that are distributed outside Google Play. A preview of it is available on a support page and a PDF.

Developers will need to provide their legal name, address, D-U-N-S number (for organizations), email address, phone number, a government ID. In other words, it is similar to the regular experience. In addition to these, app devs will need to register their app’s package names, which will be linked to the developer's identity. Finally, they will need to sign the APK with their private key and upload it to verify ownership.

Students and hobbyist developers will be able to create an account with fewer requirements, and without the $25 registration fee.

Google believes that by identifying developers, and blocking non-compliant ones, the risk of malware is greatly reduced. The company says that the new rules were welcomed with positive feedback from the Brazilian Federation of Banks (FEBRABAN), Indonesia's Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs, and Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.

Sure, these new rules may block malicious apps, but this could come at a great cost. This could end up being a disaster for the privacy of developers. I wouldn't be surprised if a few app developers, who want to protect their privacy, ditch Android as a platform because of this. Perhaps that's what Google wants? To discourage devs and drive them away from third-party stores? F-Droid, LibreTube, NewPipe, Revanced, Syncthing-Fork, Cromite, are some examples of popular apps that are not distributed on the Play Store. Such developers will need to provide their real information to Google, otherwise their apps may be blacklisted. That could be viewed as anti-competitive behavior, and invite new antitrust investigations. Apple got hit by antitrust investigations for trying to influence third-party app markets in Europe, and deservedly so.

Apps could be hit with DMCAs if their developer information is available, this may affect apps like emulators. Other apps could be discontinued if devs choose not to register their details with Google.

Google will begin early access for verification in October 2025, and start opening verification for all developers in March 2026. The new rules will come into effect in September 2026 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. It will become a global requirement in 2027 and later.

This is how it starts, what next? Will sideloading be blocked completely in the future? It may not be long before Android becomes a walled garden like iOS.

Ubisoft has announced a new DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage. Players will be able to explore 9th-century AlUla in an all new expansion for the game.

Assassin's Creed Mirage was released in November 2023, it drew praise from fans and critics for returning to the franchise's roots, focusing on stealth, parkour, and a smaller map. I've played all games in the series (except Shadows), and Mirage's setting and the gameplay reminded me of the original Assassin's Creed game from 2007, featuring the legendary Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.

This was a welcome break from the previous games in the franchise, especially the last three (Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla), which a lot of people felt had stagnated with its open worlds, repetitive gameplay, and above all, a lack of stealth. It didn't really feel like an assassin game, more like a regular RPG with stealth-like mechanics. Personally, I didn't really have a problem with the open world setting, but I can see why people felt it was tedious to explore every part of the map, you could end up being burned out.

Mirage's story is set in 9th-century Baghdad, and allowed players to witness the evolution of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character from one of the previous games. He joins the ranks of the Assassin's, in their fight against the Templars. AC Mirage's version of Baghdad is open world, but tighter, densely populated, and felt like a real city, as opposed to giant half-empty maps of the other titles. That said, the game retained some elements from the RPG-trilogy, such as upgradeable weapons, tools for taking down enemies in stealth, a pet eagle that you can use for scouting, and mounts. It was fun to play a squishy assassin again, as opposed to an invincible demigod hero that we had in the RPG-like AC games.

As for the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC, it will focus on a new story set in AlUla (also known as al-Ula), which is an oasis city located in Medina, Saudi Arabia. New missions sound good, but Ubisoft has also confirmed that there are some gameplay improvements, which will also be available for the base game.

However, that is the extent of the details we know about the AlUla DLC for Mirage. That, and the fact that the Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC will be free for all owners of the game, that is awesome. The DLC does not have a release date yet, but it is coming later this year.

Have you played Assassin's Creed Mirage?

With Windows 10 soon running out of support, millions of Windows 10 PC users have to make a decision regarding the future of their PC. While it is in theory possible to simply keep on running Windows 10 on the PC after Microsoft ends support, it is not recommended in most cases.

The main reason for that is that Microsoft won't release security updates anymore for the PC, which, at least in theory, leaves the PC vulnerable to attacks.

Subscribing to Windows 10 ESU, extended security updates, is a good option to postpone the end by a year. You can do so relatively easily and in most cases for free. There is even a great tool for that which handles all the hard work and works with local accounts as well.

Windows 10 users have other options. If the PC's main components meet Windows 11's system requirements, upgrading to Windows 11 is another free option. There is also 0Patch, a micro-patching service that promises to deliver security patches for critical issues that affect Windows 10 at least until 2030. It comes at a price though, as you need to pay 0Patch about $30 per year for that.

Finally, there is also the option to upgrade to Windows 11, even if the Windows 10 PC does not meet the requirements of Windows 11. While you may be able to upgrade manually, using third-party tools is a more convenient option.

Flyoobe: open source Windows 10 to 11 upgrader

Enter Flyoobe (previously known as Flyby11), an open source tool by a well-established developer that has grown in the past months. At its core, Flyoobe still lets you upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, bypassing most of the requirements check that Microsoft added to the process. It is a quick and painless process. While I recommend highly to create a backup of the system before you run the script, the chance that something does not work is rather slim at this point.

The latest version of the open source Windows upgrader comes with additional features. First, you may use it to subscribe to extended security updates on Windows 10 PCs. It uses the Consumer ESU script of Abbodi, which handles everything for you.

Great option to extend support for Windows 10. Then, it also includes a brand-new helper app called Spot, which you can run from the interface. It can run almost 90 different tools, including the Registry Editor and other built-in tools, which can be useful to make quick adjustments. It doubles as a helper app for problems that users may run into when upgrading to Windows 11.

Last but not least, there is also the OOBE, out of box experience, part of the application. It assists users in customizing the experience by making tweaks, removing unnecessary features, or setting the default browser.

Now You: have you tried Flyby11 or Flyoobe already, or plan to? Let us know in the comment section below.

[UPDATE] Apparently, this add-on update was not intentional. Gorhill uploaded the extension to the wrong extension ID.

Here's a comment Gorhill posted on GitHub (thanks to Saampei Nihira for the tip).

And one more, which says " I sent an email to someone at Extension Dev Support at Microsoft, asking to roll back to original 1.65.0."

The original story follows....have a laugh at my expense! (and Gorhill's)

Did you have uBlock Origin installed in Microsoft Edge? Has it been replaced by uBlock Origin Lite?

The Microsoft Edge extension has been updated, the new version doesn't bring new features, instead, the add-on automatically downgrades itself to uBlock Origin Lite.

The update was spotted by multiple users on reddit, one of whom shared a screenshot of the add-ons result page on Edge's store. The screenshot looked odd, because it showed 2 versions of the add-on. I decided to check it myself, and indeed, there are 2 versions of uBlock Origin Lite on the Edge add-ons store. That's a little weird.

If you look closely at their icons, it's easy to tell the difference. The add-on that has a - symbol in its icon, is uBlock Origin Lite (Version 2025.818.1918), whereas the extension that has the uBO icon is the original add-on (Version 2025.824.1755). But both extensions are now named uBlock Origin Lite.

As for why the add-on was downgraded to uBlock Origin Lite, it's fairly obvious. Chrome has deprecated support for Manifest V2 APIs, which in turn spelled the end for many extensions. This included uBlock Origin too, and the only options for users were to use some flags to extend Manifest V2 support (more on this in a bit), or to switch to uBlock Origin Lite.

While the Chrome web store "removed" the uBlock Origin extension because it was unsupported, the Microsoft Edge add-ons store still had the extension. Not anymore, apparently. It is being replaced by uBlock Origin Lite.

Okay, but why do this now? Up until now, Chrome and Chromium based browsers, have allowed users to extend support for Manifest V2 by enabling some flags in the browser. These flags are being removed from Chrome 140, and the shortcut workaround may not available for long. There is a way to load an unpacked extension in Chrome, but it will not work after Chrome 142. Its flag expires in Chrome 139. More details about this method are available at the official uBlock Origin subreddit.

Raymond Hill (aka Gorhill), the developer of uBlock Origin had stated in November 2024 that,

"Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO -- you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it's not a choice that will be made for you."

But it has now. Perhaps things have changed since? This is pure speculation, but it makes sense to replace the original extension with uBlock Origin Lite, because otherwise users would be left without an ad-blocker, and exposed to trackers, advertisements, etc. By switching to the Lite version via an automatic update, they will be protected without manual intervention. It's a little unusual, but I think this is a good move for the privacy and security of users.

Still, an official announcement couldn't have hurt, given the confusion among users. Consider this article a PSA, uBlock Origin for Microsoft Edge didn't disappear or get removed, it's uBlock Origin Lite now.  I can confirm that this is the case, my Edge browser had uBlock Origin 1.65.0 installed.

But after forcing an update via Developer mode, it got replaced by uBlock Origin Lite 2025.824.1755, which was released on August 25, 2025. Neowin also reported this today! It's unclear when Microsoft Edge will stop supporting Manifest V2, the official support page doesn't mention an EOL date.

uBO Lite is pretty good, and should suffice for most users. It was recently released for Safari on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. On a side note, uBlock Origin is still available on Opera's add-ons store, though I'm not sure how long it would be supported. It should be obvious, but I'll say it anyway, the Firefox version of the ad blocker is not affected by this change. Ironically, Microsoft Edge began recommending uBlock Origin a while back. Edge really is the new Internet Explorer!

Mozilla has announced that Firefox users can now use progressive web apps (PWAs). However, the feature is currently only supported on Windows.

PWAs can be useful for accessing your favorite websites quickly. It can also be handy for services like Spotify, Discord, where you may want to access the page quickly to control your music, or to chat with your friends. The feature has been available in Chrome and other browsers for a long time.

The option to enable PWAs is available in Firefox's Settings Labs. To activate it, head to about:preferences#experimental. Toggle the option that says "Add sites to your taskbar." You will need to restart Firefox for the change to take effect.

Note: Alternatively, you can also enable the feature from about:config with the following flag: browser.taskbarTabs.enabled

Once you have enabled the option, open any website, and you should see a new icon in the Address Bar. It looks like a box with a downwards arrow. Mouse over it, and you should see a tooltip that says "Add to taskbar." Click on the button to pin the current web page to your taskbar.

Note: The tooltip seems to display some placeholder text. Ignore it.

The icon will appear on the taskbar, and you may notice that the website's tab has been moved out of the previous window. The progressive web app version of the web page will look similar to the normal version, but Firefox itself may look different. It doesn't display the tab bar, the menu, etc., however it still has an address bar.

It does not support private browsing. PWAs don't support containers. The PWA interface moves the minimize, maximize, and close buttons to the address bar, which in turn pushes the add-ons, pinned toolbar items, and even the menu button a little to the left. This streamlined window (seen below) looks a little odd.

On the plus side, web apps in Firefox offer all of the browser's protections. Even the add-ons work as normal.

While you can unpin PWAs from the taskbar, they may persist. i.e. They may show up in the Start Menu, and even has an option to uninstall the PWA. But you can't uninstall them, that's because they are just shortcuts. Head to this folder to view your pinned web apps.

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox Web Apps

You can simply delete any unwanted shortcuts from this folder.

Follow the official discussion about PWAs in Firefox on Mozilla Connect. The PWA feature is not available for Linux and macOS yet.

Apple has increased the price of its Apple TV+ subscription. The plan now costs $12.99 per month in the U.S., up by $3.

Apple launched its streaming service in 2019 for $4.99 per month. It then increased the price to $6.99 in 2022. Just a year after that, Apple TV+ got another price hike in October 2023, taking the price to $9.99 per month.

This is the third time Apple has increased the price of Apple TV+. Going from $9.99 to $12.99 is a 30% price hike.

Apparently, the Cupertino company was losing money on the streaming service, more than $1 billion per year, as it had invested on original TV series, movies. Variety reports that Apple justified the price adjustment by pointing out that the TV Shows and Movies it offers do not include any ads. It also boasts a strong number of originals, which raked in multiple awards over the past. And it also has MLS and MLB’s “Friday Night Baseball”.

Apple isn't the only one that raised its streaming prices this year. In January, Netflix prices were hiked in multiple countries. Peacock increased its prices by $3 last month. The odd thing is Apple's $12.99 plan is cheaper than Netflix's ad-free plan that costs $17.99, and Peacock Premium Plus which costs $16.99.

However, the other streaming services manage to attract new users by offering a cheaper option with ads. By not offering such a plan, Apple could potentially lose existing subscribers who may find the new price to be out of their budget. Apple TV+ expanded to Android devices in February, so that will likely help to gain more users.

The Apple TV+ price increase came into effect on August 21 for new users. Existing subscribers will see the price change within 30 days of their next renewal date.

It is unclear which Countries are impacted by the new Apple TV+ price, the report only says "select international markets". The U.K. website, and European ones still show the price as £9.99 and €9,99 respectively.
