The article is AdGuard centric but it sheds light on the whole process where Google suddenly decided to ban ad blockers.

Google is locking down certificates in Android 14 which absolutely cannot be changed even by devs

Hopefully Firefox adds an easy way to add a certificate. They had it already, never understood why they removed it.

Google has put into place infrastructure to lock apps down as well with its App Bundles to replace APKs

I don't think they can replace APKs with AABs as the only solution - EU wants them to have support for alternative stores. In theory they could do separate Android for EU and the rest of the world, but I don't think they will.
