No, it's not the same.

It's actually exasperating to see almost the same people go "oh yes, permission dialogs in Android are overly broad, and people just click yes without reading, yes cookie consent popups are annoying, people just click yes" and then turn around and say "how dare Firefox assume people are stupid to read and understand the consent popup for WebUSB (and WebHID, and WebSerial, and WebMIDI, and NFC, and Network Information, and Bluetooth, and Location, and FileSystem Access, and Camera, and generic sensors in general, and...)"

Are those people in the room with us and can you point at any that hold both opinions at once?

[consteval]

I’ve heard both opinions at the same time because they’re both true.

A technical audience will actually read prompts and understand what they’re consenting to. I, for one, actually read cookie prompts and will say no to as much as I can.

Most people don’t, and the number of people who don’t is growing, because we keep adding prompts.
