The status "Use the Camera - Allow - X" can be confusing. Is the site currently allowed to use the camera, or not? The word Allow could either mean "currently allowed" or "click to allow." The X could mean either "currently blocked" or "click to block."
- spacehunt 10y agoThe X has a tooltip that says "Clear this permission and ask again" so it's quite clear to me.
- azdle 10y agoRight, but it would be much more clear, without needing to read the tooltip, if it just said "Allowed - X", which IMHO is pretty clear that it is currently allowed and can be revoked with the 'X'.
- MichaelGG 10y agoAgree - this was the first thought I had and came here to comment on it. When using the UI it's a bit more clear: you can't click "Allow". But just looking at the screenshot, I had the impression this was a request dialog somehow. I thought Allow was clickable to give permission, and the X was to dismiss being told the site wanted to know about the permission request. The little X doesn't seem like a common UI element to indicate "block", but it's probably ugly to say "Allowed - [Block]". Another idea might be to write "Currently allowed" or "This site has access to" under the word "Permissions".
