If you install Firefox on Android you will be asked to give it permission to access your GPS location, your cell radio for cell tower info, your network stack for wifi ap's in the area, etc. On Linux we have no such system level access checks, so we currently rely on the apps playing nice and asking you first, as Firefox does.
As far as I know, on Android you get a list of what permissions an application needs, and then you choose to install the app or not. You do not have a choice to allow or deny some of the permissions, or to do so after installation.
At least on my phone.
It's the same with my Android devices. When an app starts requesting more info then I want to allow then either I don't update the, don't install the app or delete it. It's _my_ device I'll decide what I want to allow. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
