Chrome bringing ‘Allow this time’ option for temporary permissions

Chrome 116 is coming later this month with a new feature, which will let you temporarily grant websites access to your geolocation, camera, or microphone. This new option, called “Allow this time”, will only work for the current session and will ask you again the next time you visit the site.

This feature is similar to “Only this time” on Android is also available and is also available on Safari 16 and Firefox 115 on desktop. Google says it will help users who are not ready to make a permanent decision for website permission.

The other options are – Allow on every visit and Don’t Allow, which will remember your choice for future visits. You can also click the cross (x) button to temporarily block the permission request.

Currently, the Chrome “Allow this time” option is rolling out for Mac, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS but Google may update the mobile web experience in the future.
