Re: Why does screen sharing require a browser extension?

If the consent box is fired everytime sharing is requested and it forces 
you as a user to pick the context (e.g. full desktop or select a 
specific window) and there's no way to provide consent unless you 
explicitly make a choice (e.g. can't just click "accept").  Then surely 
this is a pretty compelling argument that the user actually intended 
this action isn't it?

And surely what happens after that is the same whether it's built-into 
the browser, an extension or a stand-alone app?
