@kavdev Yeah, this so-called "foreground extension" access is a subset of background access within the current discussion. Personally, I think having a *potentially unlimited* cloud of random webpages potentially-nonobviously lurking to learn the user's location at any minute is a huge issue; anyone who wants to obtain "background" access that can be initiated outside of a foreground session should probably just invest in making a native app. (Your idea of gating it behind some ritualized "installation" flow might be a reasonable compromise.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by James-E-A Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues/22#issuecomment-3504617371 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
