It looks like they have no better way to monetize their site than to flood people with ads. So sad.

    Yeah androidpolice quality really fell after the owner sold it unfortunately. Before it was a pretty great site for android news and Nexus (N6 owner here!) And pixel leaks but now is no better than a tabloid.

    I've found Android Authority to be pretty decent. As a bonus, they have Rita!

    I know some people won't like this, but overall I think it is a cleaner look and also makes full use of the screen real estate available. Now it's not like... 100% ideal from a usage standpoint, but I think it's better than just having black bars are the top and bottom (or sides in landscape mode), as that just sorta defeats the point of an edge to edge display.

    I don't think it is "forced", just the new default (unless explicitly disabled in a view), which is nice to see. Additionally, I didn't see much relevance to Play Store - it seemed to be a system-level thing.

    Finally! I hate the extra padding that usually doesn't follow the rest of the apps colour pallet and ends up looking half arsed.
