  Honestly, I’m torn between “android power users can do so much” and “a regular app can access notifications system-wide, wtf”. How does it work?

      Yeah, same with stuff that can interact and register what is on the screen Like a few pokemon go add-ons that can read what's on your screen and be a overlay (to distinguish good pokemon from bad)

    Android apps can request very powerful permissions, but those permissions are specific, explicit and revocable. There's a fundamental trade-off between power and risk, but I think the Android security model handles that trade-off quite well. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overview https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/overv... https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.per...

      My #1 issue is that I'd love to grant an app powerful permissions if I can ensure it doesn't have internet access. But default Android doesn't expose the network permission (which exists and is accessible in ROMs like LineageOS) Of course if this was exposed then people would start blocking the Google data vaccum - and that's bad for business
