2 years ago So far the "prompt" permission override option doesn't work correctly, I attempted to fix that but in the end I think folks agree that it would be better to instead remove the option. We discussed in https://crbug.com/1319943 and https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3683443.
I'm not sure if these changes are sufficient, or if we'll need to remove the option elsewhere as well. This is all new to me. Please shout if I need to do anything else, or if this change is somehow wrongheaded!

The DevTools protocol[1] allows permissions for websites to be overriden. As well as "granted"/"denied" the override could also be for "prompt"[2], which should have forced the permission re-requested every time. In practice however, the "prompt" override wasn't working correctly. The changes required to fix that proved to be too invasive[3], so we decided[4] to remove the option instead.
