AppManager highlights some permissions according to your flag (dangerous, normal, signature, etc.) this is useful and serves as an alert. Due to its usefulness, I think this highlight could also be added in other tabs.

Since trackers are identified by their names (com.facebook.share, com.google.firebase.analytics, ...) then it would be possible to do this. Those that are on the exodus list would be highlighted so that the user can turn it off more easily without having to search for each tracker individually.

what do you think?

Can you name an app with such trackers (for testing purpose)? I hardly use any closed source app these days.

Notice: Permissions are coloured red based on the protection level flags. It means that only permissions that the system considers dangerous are coloured red which skips a lot of permissions that are actually dangerous (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS for example). I might change this to make a customized list of dangerous permissions. Also, only dangerous permissions can be disabled using pm command, the rests cannot be disabled but their corresponding operations (op) can be disabled which are listed in the App Ops tab.
