Required for the WebView to access the internet. Without this permission, Privacy Browser would be âNo Browser: Protecting Your Privacy by Staying Completely Off the Internetâ.
+ +com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT
+Required to add shortcuts for websites to the launcher desktop.
+ +android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
+Required to download files to the public download folder. + On Android Marshmallow (API 23) and newer, if this permission is denied Privacy Browser will store downloads in the appâs download folder instead.
+ +In addition, Privacy Browser Free displays ads from Googleâs AdMob network using the Firebase backend. + For the free flavor, Firebase adds the following permissions even though they are not listed in the manifest file.
+ +android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
+Allows the ads to tell when you are connected to the internet and when you arenât (presumably so they donât try to reload an ad when you are disconnected). + They can also tell if you are connected via Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, 4G, etc.
+ +Allows the ads to keep the processor from sleeping and the screen from dimming, although in my testing I don't think the ads actually do this.
+ +com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
+Allows Google to send information directly to the AdView without having to receive a request first (cloud-to-device messaging).
+ +com.stoutner.privacybrowser.free.permission.C2D_MESSAGE
+Secures the cloud-to-device messages so that only Privacy Browser Free can receive them.
