Browser Permissions on Android: What No One Is Talking About

Browser permissions on Android

Android has been moving towards better privacy features since a while now. The past few OS updates have been carrying major changes w.r.t privacy. One of the biggest changes Android has made till date, which in my opinion hasn’t been taken seriously enough, is permissions and how they’re asked for. Starting with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), each app must request for the permission they require. It’s now the developer’s responsibility to ask for permission during the apps runtime, compared to previous versions where they were given by default. Unfortunately, it turns out that many apps ask them unnecessarily. Here, we talk about Browser Permissions on Android.
