Block overly-eager permission requests for notifications, location, etc. For example, ones that happen before you've interacted with the page. This was created as part of How to improve your permissions UX (https://adamlynch.com/improve-permissions-ux).

How it works:

Permissions requests are blocked until you've interacted with the page; i.e. click, tap, or key press. Although there are the following exceptions:

• If the permission has been previously requested and granted (or explicitly denied).
• If the domain is localhost or 127.0.0.1.
• If you've navigated to the current page from another page on the same domain.

Things not covered and why:

• Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, device motion, device orientation, etc. They don't trigger a permissions request popup.
• Ambient light sensor. It doesn't trigger a permissions request popup.
• Bluetooth. This can only be requested due to user interaction anyway (https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#requestDevice-user-gesture).
