Improve the location prompt #41

Closed johnbillion closed 10 years ago

johnbillion commented 10 years ago

In Chrome the "Allow this site to use your location" prompt (which shows up on the "By Location" tab for Twitter) is really not very visible. It's better in Firefox.

Should we...

a) Show a bigger pointer in the page that points at the prompt when the location access request is pending? b) Just remove it and let Google decide where I am based on my IP (which is the fallback anyway). c) Leave it as it is.

Note that the prompt has a timeout of 8 seconds, after which it'll fall back to Google if the user hasn't made a choice.

I think that the we should leave it as it is.

Probably not very used in desktops, but geolocation is a standard, and the way Chrome and Firefox handles it is the same for thousands of webs, so the people is used to that behavior.

Tempted to leave as-is. One day Chrome will get better.

Agreed.
