Re: On Bug 23128 - 'Add an explicit "get access to media" call'

Hi Gili,

I have a doubt here, which requires some clarification for your (hybrid)
proposal,

"Browser caches the permissions for some particular website to use the same
permissions for the next time", my doubt in this statement is,
If I open a website and gave permission to access my camera, after some
time if my wife want to open the same app in the same computer/mobile,
where she don't want to give permission to the camera. Chances are there
for providing permissions to camera unknowingly.

I don't know whether I understood it correctly or is there any
misunderstanding,

Thanks,
Kiran.
