<![CDATA[Android permissions: phone calls — read phone status and identity]]>I've been asked to grant this permission with the latest update. Any hint what use a web browser might have out of it?

In newest ones those requests are only triggered when needed, as far as I know.

Touch here never asked for such permission.

Mine only asked for permission to use the camera when reading the QR code.
