If the UI team thinks this is required we could definitely experiment. There's no reason we could not add something like <meta name=permissions value="geolocation, notifications">. The problem with such a declarative solution is that there's no context for the user why the site wants such permissions. I believe there's some data that shows that users are much more likely to grant a permission if it's clear from context (e.g. by instructions from the web page) why it's needed. And also, the current system is not going away so either way we'll need to improve it. Chrome has done some experiments with combining permissions based on requests coming in roughly at the same time: http://youtu.be/3dAwZVsS8wo?t=7m10s (that whole presentation is pretty great viewing if you're interested in permission management). -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
