It's not news, both iOS and Android sandboxing are Swiss cheese compared to a browser.
People should only install apps from trusted publishers (and not everything from the store is trusted as the store just gors very basic checks)
- Groxx 1y agobrowsers are really not much better. on an absolute level, I definitely agree they're better (e.g. they have per-url and only-after-click permissions for some things), but they've all got huge gaps still once you start touching extensions. and beyond that it remains to be seen, since OS-level permissions are significantly broader-possibility than in-browser due to being able to touch far more sensitive data.
