Like in title. Modern Android permission system is really annoying. It assumes I do not trust installed apps and I believe was made to promote loose installing of whatever crap like loyalty cards apps, while I only install a couple of trusted apps all from F-Droid. Such module would enable faster installation of the systems and less irritation when I have to give app a permission third time this month (Android now can decide for myself and revoke permission when it thinks it’s no longer needed…).

    This permissions I have on for my browser anyway, also I still need to click “install” on the popup here regardless of permission switch. And with my idea I was thinking about normal permissions, not special ones.

      This is easily bypassed by using the accessibility API which an all-permitted app can use to automatically handle dialogs.

      But yes, if you’re thinking some permissions are more special than others, it would depend on what permissions you are enforcing.
