And I think this one would be a particular challenge for the user. It would take a particularly expert user to recognize that “allow access to information about the keyboard and keyboard shortcuts” might also imply “allow this site to remember me and guess what other pages/software I have open on my computer”. More relevant, I imagine it would be difficult for a UA to explain the resulting implications clearly. NickReceived on Wednesday, 10 December 2014 20:14:27 UTC
