It’s been over a year with these macOS pop-ups and I still have any idea why an app is asking, what should I say, what is the penalty for choosing Don’t Allow, etc. What a frustrating experience.

(Edit: I’m showing Chrome here but I am getting them for so many other apps without seemingly any rhyme or reason.)

I say Don’t Allow all the time not because I think the app doesn’t deserve access, but because I have no idea why it’s asking to begin with! I just feels like noise, and bad UI storytelling.

@mwichary I'm always reminded of this ad when I see those warnings.

@isonno Yeah, this is exactly right.
