I believe that usual practice before we remove something we don't like
is to provide some warning. There are some big sites that use
geolocation from http:// origins.
That said, those sites will continue to work. It is most likely treated
in the same way as the user rejecting the request for location.
I think Ehsan is only talking about removing the persistent "always
allow" permission. The effect of doing so would be that the user would
simply be prompted each for each request, instead of it being
automatically allowed. It's not treated as a permission denial, and is
what happens by default in Firefox.
Indeed (I phrased it very poorly!)
I'd have no objection to this. We can monitor Input feedback on the
prerelease channels, before/after the change, to see if it's a problem
prior to shipping it on release.
Great idea.
