"Just" carries a lot of weight there. There are several dozen APIs that Google pushes that require user consent.
At wich point will the user just blindly click "yes" on all of those?
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 4y agoThat's a fair point. Sometimes I go the opposite extreme. If every site is asking to send me notifications, I'll turn it off globally. Sites shouldn't be asking for permissions that don't really need, and users should default to "no" instead of yes, but these are orthogonal problems. Browsers could batch them up. One dialog that lists what permissions the site wants with checkboxes next to each of them to agree. There really is no way around that for file system access. Users must consent and consent to a small subset of files, or the whole thing is effed.
