As the title says, I know you can sandbox apps downloaded through Google Play, but I haven't seen any similar claims for Aurora store. That being said, Aurora's anonymous download/install process is very tempting.

are aurora store apps Sandboxed

Just as every other android program.

Aurora's anonymous download/install process

Aurora uses the same processes as the play store to download apps. Your data is still being collected, but instead of just google, now every person who knows the password for the 10 or so google accounts can access it and your data thats stored in the account through your downloaded apps too.

Try explaining this again without sounding like a Redditor with a chip on their shoulder

What data specifically? Like lets say i have the reddit app downloaded through auroras dummy accounts, what could somebody do if they have log-in access to that dummy?
