BTW I should note what I mean by "Uber Page Info Window". For some time, we've talked about improving the page info window in Chrome. Right now it shows only the security information for a SSL page. In the future we'd like to extend this to show other information. The idea is there'd be a few tabs showing things like:
- general page info in addition to security info - web capabilities/permissions used by the page, along with the ability to control these, including the effect of any active blacklist - media attached to the page, which a convenient way to download - eventually an additional surface for extensions to add tabs/features based on content-script scanning of the page The idea anyway is for any web capability there'd be a toggle in here. We also envisage some kind of app/extension page where one can visit the properties/capabilities for an individual installed app/extension too. Anyway any time the notion of site-specific capability control comes up, the response from the UX team tends to be "uber page info window". It's on our list, we just have been busy with other stuff. I mocked this some years ago in Firefox as a bottom bar http://web.archive.org/web/20051220182808/wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Info_Window but I am not advocating that approach necessarily. -Ben On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 7:13 PM, Ben Goodger (Google) <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 6:13 PM, Jeremy Orlow <[email protected]> wrote: >> I had the same thoughts.
