Those permission in particular are supposed to be removed via https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon/blob/main/telemetry/src/firebase/AndroidManifest.xml. I'll take a look why it isn't taking effects.

Seems to be an issue with the android gradle plugin not merging in the custom manifest. I'll make an issue for it.

Actually I may have misunderstood how the manifest merger works.
