Re: [w3c/permissions] Only allow permissions.request() during user interaction (#77)

@raymeskhoury My stance is that permission is between a User Agent and its user. If user agents are bothering their users, then that’s on them.

Chrome's permission UX used to be easier to ignore, but recently became more intrusive, shifting power away from users, and toward sites. “User gestures" seems like a wallpaper reaction to that shift.

I think it’s fine for Google to explore these UA choices, but their findings are going to fit their model, not every browser’s model. When we're suggesting all browsers adopt Chrome’s permission model, then we should know we are off track.

Permission prompts are not content pop-ups, they are the browser’s own communication with their user. Specs have traditionally no business here, nor does content (which is why I also support https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/83).
