Exactly, why can't there be presets to set the trust level on websites?
- Hey, it seems like you want to use our notification feature, and we are delighted. For us to be able to push you messages, you need to set out trust level to "App", to do this...
I mean, nobody will open a menu and click on 3 things for a spammy website, but many people will do it for their favorite 3 sites.
- Clicking on this button will trust this website (example com) as an [App] and give it the ability to store information on your device, and send you notifications. Please don't do this for the sites you don't trust. [Cancel] [I trust this website]
Our grandparents can run random executable from the internet and with some common-sense training and scary popups from anti-virus and UAC, it is still risky but tolerable. This is way more secure and easier, why cant this work?
- You already trust this app (example com) and it can already store information on your device and send you notifications. Clicking on this button will add it to your trusted apps and allow it to ask for files stored on your device by other apps, and also allow it to ask to access your contacts. These permissions will be only available when you are actively using the app. [Cancel] [Add example com to trusted apps]
Please some browser implement this.
- AlexandrB 5y agoExcept make it wayyyy more fine grained so I can give the app permission to store files but not send notifications or to access the files of one other app but not another. Something like Apple's fine-grained photos permissions would be good.
- mmis1000 5y agoEdge exactly did that. It collects feedback from users. If a site got rejected by literally every user. It will be put into the `don't even bother prompt the users` list. And start from this point. No edge user will be prompt actively by that site (There will still be a icon on the url bar. If the user really really want to enable it, he can click it himself).
- sefrost 5y agoDo we know which sites are in that "no prompt" list?
- miohtama 5y agoSounds like a ripe for abuse on a competitor’s site. How does Edge identity the reporting users?
- ramses0 5y agoFYI, that just buckets you into the "false-prompt" or "prompt-to-prompt" pattern. eg: https://blog.hurree.co/blog/ios-push-notification-permissions-best-practises https://blog.hurree.co/blog/ios-push-notification-permission...
- philistine 5y agoMake it even simpler. If the website is installed as a Web App on your iPhone home screen (it has an icon), it can ask for and send notifications. It appears in your list of apps in notifications in Settings and can be fine-tuned that way. You remove it from your home screen and the notification permission disappears. The bugs related to notifications currently seen in the beta are due to this user interaction not yet being implemented I'd bet.
