Big meeting:
TPAC 2025 (Calendar)

Together with researchers at CISPA, the Chrome Permissions team ran a study on how websites prepare users for permission prompts, which was published at ACM CHI 2025. During this breakout, I'd like to present some of our findings and then have a discussion about the following aspects:

  • The importance of providing context to users making security and privacy decisions on websites
  • The role of so-called pre-prompts, given that other platforms recommend them [1,2]
  • whether or not there is anything we want to (and can) do to address annoyance from misused pre-prompts

Please feel free to suggest additional aspects that could fit this breakout in the comments.
