I believe Colton is right and even better the solution is in the works. Am
I correct that in the future the apps available for download feature
current in many lenses will become opt-in in the future? I don't believe in
censoring the apps available for download from the app store (besides
obviously virus laden) but at the same time people should have a way to
prevent things they don't want to encounter on their computer.
