Any way around this? As much as I get that it will protect noobs from installing random stuff from the internet and getting scammed, I think having a setting hidden somewhere deep in settings would help not alienate power users.

I guess the real reason is reVanced. Hopefully there will be a way to install it somehow. I would even pay for Premium, but the lack of swipe controls would really hurt my watching habits.

    You can install app from Android Debug Bridge (adb). It will bypass all new restriction.

    How arduous is that for non developers? Is this something a regular non-technical person can do?

    Glad there is a workaround, I'm mostly curious how likely it is to be used.
