This has a few problems: - -1. It isn't extensible. We keep adding new permissions, but it's hard - to update the text strings to deal with all possible combinations of - permissions. -2. It isn't clear. Users don't realize that the text is telling them - something specific about the extension they're installing. -3. Advanced users have complained that they would like to see the - details of the exact permissions being requested, not the text form. -4. Very advanced users have requested the ability to disable individual - permissions during installation. - -### **Proposal** - -The current set of permissions are: - -* Data on a domain (eg www.google.com) -* tabs system details (urls, titles, etc) -* browsing history -* geolocation -* unlimited storage quota -* desktop notifications - -Some of these permissions are too granular to be useful to most users during -installation, and should be hidden by default. For example, most users won't -want to approve access to desktop notifications during installation. -Installation should grant that privilege automatically. Similar for extra -storage quota. Access to the tab system and to the history system are basically -the same kind of access, so those should be grouped. - -Thus the user-visible permissions for the above would be simplified to: - -* Data on a domain -* Browsing history (tabs, history, etc) -* Geolocation - -The new install dialog should show a list of high-level permissions by default, -but give advanced users a way to see the detailed list if they want. - -So something like: - -+=============================================+ - -| +------+ | - -| | | | - -| | icon | Install Gmail Checker? | - -| | | | - -| +------+ | - -+---------------------------------------------+ - -| This extension will have access to: | - -| | - -| !

Your browsing history. | - -| | - -| \[more details\] | - -| | - -| | - -| \[ ok \] \[cancel\] | - -+=============================================+ - -When the user clicks "more details", the dialog expands and shows all the -permissions requested in as much detail possible. In the future, we might also -make it possible to turn off individual permissions in that area, but the -extension system doesn't support that yet. - -### Text details for high-level permissions - -**Site access** - -Your private data on www.google.com. - -Your private data on www.google.com and foo.com. - -Your private data on www.google.com, foo.com, and 5 other sites. - -Your private data on all web sites. - -**Tabs and History** - -Your browsing history. - -**Geolocation** - -Your physical location on planet Earth. - -**NPAPI** - -Full access to your computer and private data. - -**Camera (future)** - -Your computer's camera - -**Microphone (future)** - -Your computer's microphone - -**Infinite Storage, Notifications** - -<none>
