Block overly-eager permission requests for notifications, location, etc. For example, ones that happen before you've interacted with the page. This was created as part of How to improve your permissions UX (https://adamlynch.com/improve-permissions-ux).
How it works:
Permissions requests are blocked until you've interacted with the page; i.e. click, tap, or key press. Although there are the following exceptions:
- If the permission has been previously requested and granted (or explicitly denied).
- If the domain is `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`.
- If you've navigated to the current page from another page on the same domain.
Things not covered and why:
- Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, device motion, device orientation, etc. They don't trigger a permissions request popup.
- Ambient light sensor. It doesn't trigger a permissions request popup.
- Bluetooth. This can only be requested due to user interaction anyway (https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#requestDevice-user-gesture).
- Clipboard. It doesn't trigger a permissions request popup.
- Flash. I don't know how the prompt is triggered or how I can intercept this.
- Geolocation's `watchPosition` method. There's no way to achieve this without breaking stuff. It returns an ID and it doesn't offer any way to check the status of the permission, like `Notification.permission`. The Permission API could be used but it's asynchronous (Promise based), so there's no way to use it and also still return the ID.
- Web USB. Not really supported yet (and the Permission API doesn't support it yet), so it probably won't be annoying anyone.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
