Zero permission isn't really zero. The app still needs access to the internet and under android that is a permission.

I don't want to be a party pooper but you claim privacy. I assume this browser is not open source (didn't see a link) so how can we trust you don't collect data? Are you going to do an external audit?

android doesn't count 'internet' as one of those permissions apps need to popup a request for... It's kinda like given by default.... Storage, location, photos, call logs, contacts etc are the dangerous ones

Does background running require permission? (I don't have an android phone to check)

No, background running is not a permission on Android :)
