For those not aware, a few months ago after reaching out to me, YouTube contacted the App Store stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines and modifies the website in a way they don’t approve of, and alludes to their trademarks and iconography.
I don’t personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more “visionOS” like.
For tech illiterate people, it sounds bad.
Again I ask, how? There’s absolutely nothing in the name to suggest it is “dangerous” or “bad”.
Tech illiterate people will not understand it at all.
Go ask your mom who had to deal with your limewire phase in high-school if you can “sideload” apps on her phone.
You want sources or something, what are you expecting dude?
My Mom is far too old to know anything about Limewire.
Literally any sort of explanation why you think “sideload” = “dangerous”? Other than just repeating that it is over and over.
I think any unknown phrase and method to install an app will be scary to a person who is that unknowledgeable about it. At that point there isn’t any phrase that you could use that wouldn’t sound sketchy to them, it isn’t the phrase that is the problem, it’s the fact that it’s unknown and the process is scary.
The people you are describing would still be skeptical even if you explained it to them (and they should be, since they likely don’t have the knowledge or resources to properly vet an application from an unknown source)
