Preliminary checklist

  • I have read the README
  • I have searched existing issues for my feature request. This is a new issue (NOT a duplicate) and is not related to another issue.
  • I have searched wont fix issues and this request is not among them
  • This is a feature request for the Cromite browser; not the website nor F-Droid nor anything else.

Is your feature request related to privacy?

Yes

Is there a patch available for this feature somewhere?

N/A

Describe the solution you would like

Cromite allows protected content by default. This API, which can be used to play encrypted or DRM content, uses practices considered privacy invasive. This can be mitigated without causing issues by setting the permission to "Ask First", allowing the website to utilize it only if granted by the user first.
Additionally, making the permission prompt only fire upon user gesture would be useful to prevent nagging by sites trying to abuse it, if this scenario was to happen.

Describe alternatives you have considered

already taken into account in #1237

as written in that thread, the drm is completely deactivated and that feature would not be activated, not even by answering yes.

This can be mitigated without causing issues by setting the permission to "Ask First"

the default will be "blocked"
