- dcow 4y agoDo you have any concrete recommendations beyond the obvious "fix the glaring permissions UI scroll box issue"? Are you advocating for browsers to remove these permissions altogether because you feel they're too dangerous? Are you lobbying for a shift towards use-site triggered permission requests like Safari does? It seems you understand the tale is whimsical but I fear some people view it much more seriously and want to start an extension witch hunt. It would be nice to see a concrete call to action so it would be more clear what your proposed solution is instead of just inciting a bunch of pitchforks with no clear goal.
