It isn't available in Play anymore. To get a working copy now you have to go to the package disabler website.
If I didn't have a working copy of PDP, I'd go with Alliance Shield.

Can't you just turn off the adblock (and probably the firewall) in Alliance? Use it for disabling and use Adguard for DNS and ad blocking?
Re: Sammy Fraud?
The intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right.
That's the legal definition of Fraud.
Did they throttle on purpose? (Appears they did.)
Does it affect a person's legal right to use an application? (To use it. No. To use it as designed, possibly.)
But waiting for some attorneys to jump on the class action suit that will make nothing for the user, but allow them (the attorneys) to purchase some new high end cars and homes.
But it sure would not affect me.

Re: Sammy Fraud?
Regardless of nomenclature, at this point, based on available information, Geekbench concluded that Samsung was intentionally deceptive, so de-listed these devices. I don't care if it is called "fraud" or a "deceptive trade practice," in my book it's simply slimy. And now that they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, Samsung is going to "add" an option (that they say was already there but wasn't?) to allow users to toggle control. Still sounds like PR spin.

Re: Sammy Fraud?
To your point...it was already there on my device and I recall getting a prompt during or after setup to enable or disable it.

So what it sounds like, and no surprise if you think about it, turning of GOS will increase battery usage and heat for better performance. But then with continued (guessing the heat) will end up being throttled anyways?

Samsung doesn't like when someone asks too many questions
We see when they bring the update what all the fuss is about.
Not doubting you Mike. Seems to be divergent opinions at the corporate level on whether users have the option to toggle. South Korean government is now investigating possible action.

Googling a little on this…

“the company also sought to address concerns that it wouldn’t offer free repairs due to overheating when people used the upcoming performance priority option. It noted that free service would still be offered if the phone was within its warranty period.”

Denying a warranty claim would never fly based on changing a setting.
