Hey everyone, I've been wondering, are manual app installs or "sideloading" apps on Android actually better for performance compared to just downloading them from the official app store? I've heard some people claim that direct installations can lead to a snappier experience, possibly because they cut out some of the extra baggage that store versions might include. Has anyone noticed a measurable difference in app speed or battery usage between applications installed via these different methods? I'm curious if the effort is worth it for a performance boost.
