  @mwichary to reduce these pop-ups by choosing the things the app is allowed to do in settings. That is also the place where you can change your decision of the pop-up later, if you want to. After you chose it normally tells you something along the lines of „you can always change this by going to „Settings -> Chrome“ in a short pop-up for a second or two. And if I don’t know why an app asks that, I search for the answer on the internet. I want to know what the apps do that I have. 2/2

  @mwichary in the photo you showed it tells you why it wants permission: „This will allow you to select from available devices and display content on them.“ I am rather happy about these pop-ups, since it allows me to decide if I want to provide more data for the app in question. I do get that it is frustrating to get them often, but if an app has that pop-up very often, for me it is also an indicator to look for an alternative that isn’t as data hungry. It also should be possible to reduce 1/2
