Lesson 5 of 5

Lock down site permissions

Microphone, camera, location, notifications.

4 min read

Visit your browser's site settings and set Microphone, Camera, Location and Notifications to 'Ask' or 'Block'. The default 'Ask' is fine; the worst default is silent allow.

Revoke permissions you've granted in the past — most sites never need them again.

Key takeaways

  • Default-deny is safer than default-ask.
  • Notifications are the most-abused permission.
  • Permissions are per-site and reversible.
