Aren't there already sites that show a fake permission request dialog? This won't stop them (and I don't see how you could without entirely removing the feature).
Yeah there's nothing you can really do about those as they're created using arbitrary DOM elements. This cuts back on the permission prompt spam that takes place directly with the Firefox UI.
This type of cancer is what we need in-page popup blockers for.
Mozilla has been promising to work on it and started a data collection program that I contributed to, but there are no news to share and the data doesn't seem to be publicly accessible. What a disappointment.
Do you have information about the progress of the project? How about a new extension that makes you click to remove the pop-up? The data collected that way could almost directly go into a neural network.
Do you happen to know whether there are extensions to automatically answer GDPR pop-ups (indeed while blocking in page pop-ups these should probably receive special treatment)?
