    Gotta wonder why random apps don’t need special permissions to run and operate other apps. You can cause plenty of trouble maliciously navigating a browser even if you can’t see the screen.

      Sandboxing by default and preventing Google and others from spying in and manipulating apps are good steps phone OS developers should use, but I don’t think those kind of things would help for this particular case.
