With a gradual rollout from Chrome 116, we will be adding the Allow this time option to permission prompts. Our goal is to make it easier for people to use powerful web capabilities on their own terms. Allow this time will initially be available on desktop for some of the most common permissions: geolocation, camera, and microphone. Permission prompts for other capabilities and on the mobile web are unchanged for now, but may change in the future.
If you're a site owner, review Impact and Recommendations, and try the demo.
