This seems far beyond the capabilities of most users to understand. Perhaps someone can make an add-on for power users who are interested.
- nightpool 10y agoAndroid and iPhone do it, so....
- wlesieutre 10y agoFor some privileges. You can say "No, don't allow photos access," but there are other permissions like internet access that you can't block.
- madeofpalk 10y agoActually for certain classes of iOS 'apps' you can do exactly this - to enable third party iOS keyboard access you need to go into Settings and enable an extended privilege set (which includes internet access)
- lucideer 10y agoAs well as Android and iPhone, many auth services (e.g. Facebook Connect) also offer this feature to presumably mostly non-technical users. Also, I've not investigated but I doubt the WebExtensions API would provide access to features required to implement this as an extension (it's a much more limited extension API than previous Firefox ones)
