minus-squarebaseless_discourse@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 年前Yes, but as the name says, privilege extension requires privileged access to the system, hence granting fdroid (much) more trust. In recent android versions, background update is no longer a privileged permission, hence can be performed without privilege extension.
