Before we transmute the text further, can we get a clear statement from its editors about what the intent of the "request a permission" algorithm is? - Confusion seems to abound about what its purpose is. Is it to elevate the permission level? (from `prompt` to `granted`)? Is it to request (including potentially prompt for) access? I know Chrome conflates the two (offering no way to obtain camera access without implicitly elevating persistent permissions to 'granted'), but other browsers, like Firefox, do not, and this spec should not. It's not clear to me that adding some form of expiry to the existing permission states is the right approach, as it only seems to allow this confusion to continue. --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
