>Permission Request is a WICG report, not yet adopted by a Working Group. Not sure how the dependency is important here since it's not referenced by Generic Sensors, nor is it used in the [Permission] definition referenced by Generic Sensors. It is indirectly relevant. [PERMISSIONS-REQUEST] complements [PERMISSIONS] with an API to programmatically request permissions. The above-mentioned proposal https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/397#issuecomment-559073025 adds a new privacy protection to [PERMISSIONS-REQUEST] to mitigate an attack known as first person bounce tracking. By adding this privacy protection to this API, also [other potential consumers](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#permission-registry) of this programmatic request facility get the same privacy protection. It is not a normative dependency on the Generic Sensor API since implementers can choose to implement the Generic Sensor API with [PERMISSIONS] but without [PERMISSIONS-REQUEST]. This is what Chrome ships today, but we heard Chrome is planning to also implement [PERMISSIONS-REQUEST] so we felt getting this mitigation in would be important. -- GitHub Notification of comment by anssiko Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/397#issuecomment-559115499 using your GitHub account
