Indeed. Tucked away in a corner of their web site, where it isn't easy to find unless someone else guides you to it, below a large bold warning that discourages people from actually using it:
This ensures that nearly nobody uses that build. Consequently, almost all chats on Signal will have an app store build running on at least one endpoint.
Yeah, because an APK downloaded from the web isn't automatically verified. You need to perform the verification of the package manually, which most users probably won't do. So it's safer to download a build from the Play Store, which does this automatically in the background.
