Kręci i kręci i nie otwiera, na dodatek ma jakieś dziwne uprawnienia nigdzie nie tłumacząc po co… * Dostęp do danych użytkownika na wszystkich stronach Dlaczego na wszystkich? * Pobieranie plików i odczytywanie oraz zmienianie historii pobieranych plików To jeszcze rozumiem * Dostęp do aktywności przeglądarki podczas nawigacji A to brzmi znów dziwnie Być może one są ok, ale fajnie by było gdyby ktoś napisał po co one. Anyway chciałem otworzyć epub z dysku… nie udało się.
