Why the Browser Keeps Coming Up
Because every step above exists to manage a risk that a browser tab does not create. A web build cannot request accessibility, cannot read messages, cannot survive being closed and cannot leave a device-admin entry behind. It runs the identical round on the same servers, which makes it the obvious default for anyone who is not playing daily.
The case for installing is real but narrow: a smoother experience on a poor connection, and faster loading if you open the app often. That case is worth the checklist; curiosity is not.
A Note on Older Android Versions
Devices on older releases grant storage access far more broadly than current ones, and unknown-sources permission is system-wide rather than per-app. Both make sideloading meaningfully riskier, and both are good reasons to stay in the browser on an older phone.
The full checklist for judging a package before this stage is on the download page, and every guide is on the home page.
