``permission.site'' review that allows you to check the behavior of permissions such as ``notification permission'' in a web browser

Various

WebAPIs have appeared in recent years, but programmer Lucas Garon has developed a service ' permission.site ' that is useful when you want to check whether their functions work properly and on which browsers. It is open to the public.

permission. site
https://permission.site/

The top page of permission.site displayed in Google Chrome looks like this.

Click 'Notifications' ......

permission.site will ask for permission to display notifications.

When you click 'Allow', 'Notifications' turns green.

Click on a block and it will turn red.

Then, when I clicked 'Location', I was asked for permission to recognize the user's current location. Clicking Allow/Block also changes the color.

WebAuthn authentication tests can also be performed.

Please note that some functions may not work on some browsers. For example, 'quota management' that limits user's disk usage works normally in Google Chrome ... ...

In Firefox, clicking does nothing.

It works in Microsoft Edge.

In addition, if the corresponding device is not connected to the PC, even if you click the function that requires those devices, nothing will happen and it will change to red.

Other features include switching full screen mode, reading the clipboard, etc.

The code for building permission.site is published on GitHub .
