@SylvieLorxu And there I thought developer mode was discouraged for "standard users":
"Developer modes expose features of the mobile operating system (MOS) that are not available during standard operation. An adversary may leverage a vulnerability inherent in a developer mode to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DOD sensitive information. Disabling developer modes mitigates this risk."

So, this is about security? LMAO…

@IzzyOnDroid @SylvieLorxu Oh, so I wasn't too paranoid by disabling developper settings when they're not needed. It's quite obvious when presented like that, but I wasn't aware that it changed how the operating system works (I thought it only exposed sensitive options). Thanks for pointing it out!
