Ubuntu 15.04 r270
0. Flash the phone.
1. Launch the Browser.
2. Go to maps.google.com.
3. Tap “Allow”.
What happens:
2. A dialog appears, “Permission Request” “This page wants to use your device’s location.” Deny / Allow
3. A dialog appears, “Browser wants to access your current location.” Allow / Don’t Allow
What should happen: Only one dialog appears. Two is ridiculous, especially given their visual differences.
Possible ways to solve this bug:
* The Browser should something that isn’t a dialog for site-specific permissions, like Firefox does.
* The Browser should have every permission by default, on the understanding that it can be trusted to ask per-site.
* trust-store should let any app split permissions into zones granted independently, and Browser should have one zone per Web site. |

The same appears for other permissions, such as camera and audio.
