I feel that browsers are really getting permissions horribly wrong. The prompts often look very similar to each other (no icons) regardless of what they are for. Some permissions are detectable, others are not. When a site tried to use a function that's blocked, the notification in the browser is often easy to miss, leaving users wondering why the functionality isn't working.
If it were good:
1. Users would be very aware of the request or attempted use for any permission.
2. Users would be able to easily ignore that request without the permission prompt interrupting them.
It seems that browser vendors are struggling with a fairly simple UX problem.
