    Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren’t “engaging” are in the cross hairs.

    I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.

      Yeah, I read it. Didn’t think much of it. Are those apps that common? Don’t use them, as my browser can read pdf and text files.

      Sounds more like some fringe apps will get caught in the cross hairs. Still sounds like a good change for the average end user. For the average power user, it won’t make a difference imo.
