Seriously, it specifically states that it can use the camera and audio recording any time it wants, whether or not I wish it to. Why is Chrome on Android requesting those permissions?
Should I be concerned?
(Emphasis my own.)
chrome页面中的应用商店< / a>在新权限下说:
此版本请求两个新的权限,相机和修改音频设置,以支持WebRTC,该特征是开发的实验特征。
webrtc 本身旨在将相机和麦克风暴露给浏览器,以便网络应用程序可以实现视频会议和其他多媒体解决方案浏览器。
WebRTC人们至少被称为隐私含义,由添加一个信息栏到Chrome :
窗口上的Chrome据说可以访问您的相机和麦克风。因此,如果您在Windows上使用Chrome(并且很快Firefox),那么您就可以隐式信任这些程序的供应商,以便在您不授权时不会拍摄您的照片。 Android也是如此。人们希望他们没有引入安全漏洞,这些缺陷通过恶意网站允许未经授权访问相机/麦克风。
对于您可以做些什么,在扎根手机上,您可以卸载Chrome或安装一个拒绝安装应用程序权限的权限控制应用程序。您可以切换到不支持WebRTC的其他浏览器。否则,您将陷入困境的Android提供。如果您决定您信任Microsoft或Apple,则可以切换。或者也许您相信像CyanogenMod这样的开源Android变体。对自己来说,我认为谷歌已经拥有我的手机上有一堆应用程序,可以访问我的相机和麦克风,所以如果谷歌想要窥探我已经可以。哎呀,他们可以将其建立在操作系统中,只是没有告诉任何人。
可以访问相机/麦克风的Google应用程序:
更不用说嵌入到手机的相机应用程序。
编辑:问题是用手机显示在提示您更新应用程序时的屏幕截图更新的问题。遗憾的是,此时,应用程序开发人员似乎没有办法记录他们为什么需要特别的权限,除了外部来源。例如,该Chrome更新状态为为什么它需要"新建" 页面中的权限。但是,如果您不在那里看,只需看到可怕的警告,您就会留下疑惑发生了什么。作为一个应用程序开发人员,我希望我们可以为权限页面添加帮助文本,以向用户解释为什么我们需要权限以及隐私策略如何保护用户。谷歌当然可以使这种更具可用性和不那么可怕。
The Chrome page in the app store says this about the new permissions:
This version requests two new permissions, Camera and Modify Audio Settings, to support WebRTC, an experimental feature under development.
WebRTC itself is designed to expose your camera and mic to the browser, so that web-apps can implement video-conferencing and other multimedia solutions in-browser.
The WebRTC people have at least nominally considered the privacy implications, by adding an info-bar to Chrome:
Chrome on Windows is said to have access to your camera and mic. So if you use Chrome on Windows (and soon Firefox too) then you are implicitly trusting the vendor of those programs to not take pictures of you when you don't authorize it. The same is true for Android. One hopes that they don't introduce security flaws that allow unauthorized access to the camera/mic by malicious websites.
As to what you can do about it, on a rooted phone you can uninstall Chrome or install a permissions-control app that denies permissions to installed apps. You can switch to a different browser that doesn't support WebRTC. Otherwise you're stuck with what Android provides. If you decide that you trust Microsoft or Apple more than Google, you can switch. Or maybe you trust an open-source Android variant like Cyanogenmod. For myself I consider the fact that Google already has a bunch of apps on my phone which have access to my camera and mic, so if Google wanted to spy on me they already can. Heck, they could build that right into the OS and just not tell anyone.
Google Apps that can access the camera/mic:
Not to mention the camera app which is built-in to the phone.
Edit: The question was updated with a screenshot of what the phone shows when you are prompted to update the app. Unfortunately at this time there doesn't seem to be a way for app developers to document why they need particular permissions, except in external sources. For example, this Chrome update states why it needs the permission in the "What's New" page. However, if you don't look there and just see the scary warning, you are left wondering what is going on. As an app developer I wish we could add help text to the permissions page to explain to the user why we need the permissions and how the privacy policy protects the user. Google could certainly make this more usable and less scary.
