Same on Android.

Except on Android when you search for something and you get the big "match found" with "install" button, it's an ad and the real result is hidden like a search result.

This practice ought to be illegal. These are trademarks, and monopolies are injecting themselves as market makers in a bidding war they created.

This isn't enshittification. This is Roman Empire collapse. It doesn't work anymore.

At least in Android you can use F-Droid which is Play Store for open-source apps.

I installed a regex powered notification blocker yesterday. Works as a charm.
