Useless. I'm forced to give this 1 more star than 'asks' that it blocked (0)

Thank you for good work!

Finally! An extension that blocks those annoying requests. I don't know why random sites I only intend to visit for a minute or so, feel the need to request permissions to spam me with notifications or get my location. Can't thank you enough dev. 5 stars well deserved.
