Google Chrome: Granting permissions will be revised

If you are currently browsing a website with the Chrome browser that requests permission, you will be greeted with a speech bubble. You can use them to grant or deny permission. This is necessary, for example, if a website wants access to your location data. You can try it here if you are interested.

Now, using telemetry data from Chrome, Google has come up with the funnel that the authorization requests are often ignored or even rejected. This is particularly the case when asked about the location, as this is often automatically requested by websites.

Therefore, Chrome version 97 is used. The request for authorization has been visually revised and animated. The new permission is provided with an icon and label. Above all, unnecessary requests should disappear in the sinking. If the requesting chip is clicked, then authorization can be granted.

For video conferences, a camera and/or microphone are often requested. Permission is asked directly here since the user triggered the message here through interaction on the website. More detailed explanations, including what this means for developers, can be found here.
