• Chrome is making changes to how websites request permissions from users. The new system will require websites to explicitly ask for permission to access features like location, camera, and microphone. This is aimed at giving users more control over their data and privacy on the web.

• The new permission system will be rolled out in two phases. The first phase, coming in Chrome 84, will require websites to use a new "permissions-policy" header to request access to certain features. The second phase, coming in Chrome 86, will introduce a new user interface that will make it clearer when a website is requesting permissions.

• The changes are part of Google's broader efforts to improve privacy and security on the web. By giving users more control over permissions, the company hopes to build trust and prevent websites from abusing access to sensitive data and features. These updates are in line with other privacy-focused changes Google has made to Chrome, such as the introduction of the Privacy Sandbox initiative.
