They request 'running apps' only from this particular subgroup. Notice the wording on the original screenshot: 'one or more of'.
TLDR they don't request browsing history, the Android permissions screen on update is confusing
- readams 11y agoWhen I go to that page I see the "retrieve running apps" permission under a category "Other." It would appear that I cannot disable the "Other" category in the app permission configuration. EDIT: There's another comment in the thread that indicates that this retrieve running apps permission actually doesn't do anything on Lollipop+: it just returns the app's own windows. Which would explain why it was moved to the "Other" category.
