Description

In Android 10/11, the "w" write mode no longer truncates the file during an overwrite. More details about this workaround can be found at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180526528

Steps to test this PR

  1. Add some bookmarks to DDG and export them.
  2. Delete half of the bookmarks and export them again to the same file, confirming overwriting.
  3. Observe the size and contents of the file.
