Apparently, Android now requires browsers to have the "Nearby devices" permission just to access a website on your own LAN.
I miss when computers just let you... you know, compute.

@fribbledom Back then, apps could scan your whole LAN and you wouldn’t notice. How is it not better with that permission control? I’d say most apps definitely don’t need to connect to my local network.
@fribbledom desktop browsers too, I think.
