Google provides one-time permissions to Chrome for Android
Google is providing one-time permissions for Chrome for Android. This step is intended to make websites behave like apps within a web browser.
Unique privacy controls
Securing access to your personal information and devices is critical to online privacy. All Android phones provide precise controls over device permissions to protect your privacy. Common permission controls, such as location, camera, and microphone permissions, are specific to each app and independent of each other.
Internet browsers, including popular browsers, provide similar permissions controls based on each website. Google plans to extend this feature to Chrome for Android. Permissions across Android are an important step in protecting your privacy. In recent years, Google has strengthened privacy protection with visual indicators in the status bar when accessing your camera or microphone in the background, along with options that prevent apps from collecting approximate location data.
Chrome on Android: Your favorite web browser
Chrome is one of the favorite web browsers on Android. It adheres to the same system-wide permissions. Chrome for Android includes site-specific controls, such as sending notifications and other device features, as well as controls in Android settings. These options have been available to websites since version 116, which was released to users in August last year.
The one-time permissions feature is currently in development and is part of the beta version of Chrome browser for Android in the Canary channel, with version 122. This version offers a window with three options when a website requests access to a protected feature. Options include Allow access for this session only, Allow access per visit, and Deny access.
The first option allows websites to access only the current session, while the second option allows websites to access your information only during your visit. This ensures a beneficial user experience without negatively impacting your privacy.
Conclusion: Enhance user control
In conclusion, Google's efforts to provide one-time permissions in Chrome for Android demonstrate a commitment to enhancing user control over privacy. This feature provides users with more granular control over access to the website, in line with Google's broader privacy protection initiatives.
