I believe the browser history lookup doesn't work anymore (I tried recently on 5.0 I believe). Also, many of the Android permissions are unecessarily broad, I think that really would be a good thing to fix. Oftentimes you only need some specific function, but have to request a much broader range.

Another example is phone state https://arnowelzel.de/wp/en/android-and-read_phone_state https://arnowelzel.de/wp/en/android-and-read_phone_state (games use this to adjust volume to not drown out calls). There is a replacement, but it's not well known.
