Hacker News Reader

Android enables you to install apps from 3rd party stores and specifically warns people about being careful about doing this. It is not so much that Android has more exploits, but that it is more exploitable if you choose it to be.

The OS and hardware integration is a selling point. But how many people actually care about security flaws?

It's like every other day we hear about a new Android exploit or security flaw

Aside from the absurd exaggeration, you're vulnerable to clickbait journalism. Extraordinarily few of those "exploits or security flaw"s had any material impact on the market at all, seldom having a practical or real world exploit. Instead it's a theoretical by some security group looking for some free press.

They're a couple of good platforms. Rhetoric online isn't useful.
