#161 Consider changing protection level through notifications
Opened 2 months ago by polcak. Modified 2 months ago

Summary

A user expressed an option to show buttons in a notification to tweak the behaviour of JShelter, see https://github.com/polcak/jsrestrictor/issues/188.

The webextension API allows to add up to two buttons (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/notifications/NotificationOptions#buttons). Think about possible actions that might be added to the notifications.

Exceptions proposed in #160

If exceptions are implemented a button like "Do not show again for this site" can be added.

FPD passively detected fingerprinting

By the time the notification is shown, the site could have uploaded the fingerprint so buttons like continue, allow, and block do not make sense to me.

A possible option is a button like "Block future attempts from this site". But should such a blocking be limited or full in Firefox. And if full, how do we get the permissions?

FPD actively detected fingerprinting

I do not think we should add a button like "Allow future fingerprinting from this site" for education. I think that we should not make disabling protections too easy.

Other comments welcomed

I think that this issue as is is about brainstorming ideas.
