Ive tried downloading things on a mobile device without the app stores. Easy as pie if I want the program on a desktop. Heck I could even find the mobile version and download the apk with a desktop. For nearly every apk I wanted to legally get through using a mobile device you are boxed in. App stores only. The options the desktop gives dont exist. Even the search engine results are useless.
Mind you I didnt try desktop mode at the time. Doubt it would work though since that situation was clearly artifical.
What shitty browser are you using? I suggest Fennec, from F-Droid, loaded with adblocker. Never had issue downloading .apk from the various apk sites.
Several. Same issue across the board. Almost nothing but redirects to an app store.
Noted and thank you.
