Have users view and approve each permission individually. First permission is listed, buttons for "deny" and "approve", user clicks "approve", next permission is listed, etc.
Clicking stuff is a lot of work for users and some of those permissions sound pretty intimidating, so I suspect either extensions would start getting by using fewer permissions or users would start getting by using fewer extensions.
- sanitycheck 4y agoEither of those outcomes would be a win for security and privacy. Users _should_ understand what an extension having access to this stuff implies, and if that means they only use "official" extensions or stop using them that's fine. Also "clicking stuff is a lot of work for users" made me laugh a little. How many damn cookie consent buttons do users have to click every day? An extension should be orders of magnitude more "work" to allow than that.
