Speak for yourself -- I find prefilled forms to be a time-saver.

However, I don't want apps trying to read through my contacts in order to do it. What I want (but haven't actually configured) is xprivacy configured to make contacts appear empty.



When an app tries to read your contacts, it gives a popup showing contacts as the item accessed; uncheck 'once' and click deny.
