Google Chrome may soon remove permissions for websites you haven’t visited in a while

Google Chrome, one of the most popular internet browsers on mobile and desktop is getting a new feature that will automatically revoke website permissions. Spotted in the Chrome Canary for Android, the new functionality is handy if you have granted some website permission to send notifications, access the microphone or camera but forgot about it.

According to a post by Leopeva64 on X/Twitter, the new feature appears as a new toggle named “Automatically remove permissions” under Site Settings and as the name suggests, lets Chrome automatically remove website permissions that you haven’t checked in quite some time. This is useful for users who previously granted notification permissions to a website they no longer check but forgot to revoke it.
