Why not? How is this different than, say, location access, or microphone access?
I want to be able to configure this per web site, and a permission prompt is a better interface than having an allow/deny list hidden in settings.
- afavour 1y agoBecause users understand what “microphone access” entails. “Use WebRTC?” means nothing to the average user.
- selcuka 1y agoFair point, but "cookies" didn't mean anything to the average user either, and "cookie consent" banners are the norm now.
- Vinnl 1y agoI think very few people would argue that cookie consent banners in the form in which they are the norm are a good thing just like permission prompts for microphone access are.
- mrguyorama 1y agoMobile apps require location permissions to use Bluetooth right now, even though that's a hard to understand situation for average people. If a feature can be used to track people, you have to flag it off or else you are just contributing to the tech Big Brother apparatus.
