Weird, uncomfortable thing popped up in Chrome for me this morning.

I got a note, next to the "please upgrade" menu item, that a site permission had been revoked.

When I clicked, I got a "security recommendation". This turned out to be a notification a site's mic/camera permissions had been revoked because I "hadn't visited it in a while". Despite the wording "recommendation", Chrome was informing me it
did a thing, by fiat— with no clear way to opt out or reverse Chrome's decision.

@mcc The 'Got it' button is the same as the 'Maybe later' buttons that are getting very popular, both signalling that you don't really have a choice, but should just accept what Big Company has already deemed best for you.
