Works well on Debian. Thank you for developing a very good app. I plan to introduce it to my friends around me. But can you tell me why this app needs permission to access the download history? I want to tell my friends to use this app while reassuring my friends. Please understand my lack of English. I turned the translator. Very Thank You. Good Luck!

The downloads permission is used to save the file used in the installation process. It's not strictly necessary but I found it to be the only way to make browsers do this part properly without screwing it up.

Here, you can even search the code for uses of it.
