Title: A few weeks ago, the developer of javelin browser, Steven Goh, posted on this site about the new browser he was developing.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=8368199   nubela<p>I wanted to show support for his work, and installed the browser and tried it out.<p>Today I received an email from the developer on my WORK email promoting his IndieGoGo campaign.<p>The app discovered all the email addresses on my device (which includes my work email) and sent it back for later use.<p>And there is no unsubscribe option in the email.<p>first he steals my email address and uses it for marketing purposes without even asking me permission
and then he doesnt even provide me with an option to unsubscribe.<p>This is why I am always hesitant to try new apps or apps that I feel are asking too many permissions. They abuse your trust.
