Description

OrFox, as a privacy and security oriented browser, doesn't need any permissions except network access, permissions including "run a startup, sync, control vibration, modify system settings, NFC access, access profiles" are unnecessary and might pose a security and privacy risk for this kind of software.
Similar to OrWeb, OrFox should only have bare minimum required to function properly. (Please see screenshots attached)
