New user interface for allow / deny available to try out in beta and dev.

[Serge Lachapelle]

Hi,

We talked publicly a few times about the upcoming user interface changes for the Allow Deny Infobar. It's been a long time coming, mainly because changing permissions in Chrome requires a lot of care for obvious security and privacy reasons and it spans many different functions. (Geo, offline, translate, etc...)

You can follow our progress and try it out on the latest infobar redesign in Chrome Canary / Dev / Beta. Point Chrome to chrome://flags you will see a flag that looks like this.

​

Change it to "Enabled", relaunch your browser and voilà. A quick visit to webcamtoy.com should show this:

​

We'd love to have you test this out and file issues if needed. Our goal is increase visibility and add a touch of "modality", to better explain that a decision needs to be made for a better experience.

Thanks Serge, tested and worked as expected (when "use bubbles from permission request" flag is enabled).

It looks better aligned with Firefox and Opera "bubbles" making the end user experience more consistent across browsers.

Thx again!

The bubble UI is great.

Are there plans to use the same UI for downloads like FF?

The problem with the bottom downloads bar is that it changes the inner window height.

Changing the window height confuses full screen apps.

is it possible that web developers can customize the bubble UI?

I'm not a big fan of FF's style of permission request. My main problem with it is that that the "bubble" can disappear before the use explicitly gives or rejects permission. This can happen without the user even being aware that they are being asked permission or that the web page they are at will not work properly until they figure out how to give permission (in FF you have to push the correct, tiny icon in the address bar to get the permission bubble to reappear). All a user has to do to experience this is to click/tap anywhere outside of the permissions bubble and it gets hidden into the address bar, usually to never be found again.

I like (stable) Chrome's permissions better because the user is forced to acknowledge it before it will disappear from their screen.

Hi Serge,

It is definitely improvement over the current notification, that is easily overlooked by users.

However, are there any plans to enable user to always trust by domain or site? What is the reason to ask user again and again? Per domain / site permissions would be big improvement for users...

If I am not mistaken, "Allow" in HTTPS sites is actually "Always allow". Switch to HTTPS.

As that seems to be fixed (\o/) when will this feature roll out? You promised it for M37 already :-)
