But just asking for permission? I say it's less annoying because (in Chrome, anyway), the infobar that asks for permission to be granted isn't modal, and the user can continue with her work. The UA should make it as clear as possible what the consequences are of granting persistent permissions and how to turn them off. But requiring an in-page click to trigger the permission in the UA doesn't seem useful to me. If, for example, Amazon wanted to show me desktop notifications I'd just cilck "no". I'd rather do that once then have some persistent part of the Amazon UI dedicated to asking me to let it ask for permissions. Michael > -Boris >
