   Deeply weird, uncomfortable thing popped up in Chrome for me this morning.

   I got a note, next to the "please upgrade" menu item, that a site permission had been revoked.

   When I clicked, I got a "security recommendation". This turned out to be a notification a site's mic/camera permissions had been revoked because I "hadn't visited it in a while". Despite the wording "recommendation", Chrome was informing me it *did* a thing, by fiat— with no clear way to opt out or reverse Chrome's decision.

     @mcc safari silently revokes microphone and camera permissions from google meet every few months (despite having manually set it to permanently have permission). Seems rather invasive to override the user’s settings like this

     @mcc Android does this too, *even when you specifically tell it not to for the site in question*
