I hate that the options when faced with a location permissions request is "block" or "allow". why isnt ignore an option?? Block adds the site to a discrete local list which i dont need recorded on my computer...

Because if you don't remember the block, it'll probably ask again on the next page load.

    Exactly? I may not want a site to have my location now, but I may be okay with it in the future. Eg, I’m not in a place where I want my location tagged at the moment.

      Next page load aka next link you click. I agree it would be nice to have a "No, don't ask me again for this session".

        Yes. Similarly, the “agree” should have the option for “Okay yes, but just for this session.”

        The fact that this part of the UI is not escapable by the user is hostile and breaks the interaction model. If the “webpage” is asking me this question, why is the browser acting as a middleman and forwarding me this message without letting my continue unless I answer. Let me respond to the webpage or ignore it as well.

        Brave has an option for "remember this choice until I close this site".
