Why the Excessive Privs on the latest update!!!

[Gromit]

You guys are asking for the whole enchilada on this latest update! I am very sorry, those permissions are way too excessive and not
necessary. You are putting loads of devices at unnecessary risk. Your program is very good, but I won't update to the latest version
and thereby give the AdBlock plus program full access to my entire device! *************************** Fix this. This is one of the reasons
why you are not allowed in the Google Play store, I am sure. It's a wonderful product, don't make is less by trying to take more than
you need to.

If this does not go away on the next update, I am removing the app.

Could you reduce your own access to the aggressive words?
