Most people I know just click "yes" on all popups until the website starts working. In between every other website asking for notification/location permissions and a huge pile of GDPR popups (which are actively hostile towards users that attempt to opt-out), we've managed to condition web users into routinely agreeing to give up their privacy and security. Hooray.

This. Defaults matter. You cannot introduce a privacy sensitive feature just with a permission dialog box. You must expect that most users just click through, and continue to protect those "dumb" users.
