I can set detailed Permissions for each site in the Control Center Page Info window. Fine, but extremely tedious when you want the same setting (almost) everywhere - e.g. microphone blocked everywhere (maybe except for site X). That's what defaults are for! But, I can't find anywhere to control these defaults or even find out what they are!?! //BoH

When the Use Default checkbox is checked, the currently effective permission is the one with the gray dot (see attached screenshot). Many of the newer ones are "Always Ask" -- a little panel drops from the left end of the address bar (similar to what you may have seen about accessing your location).

How do I access the permissions list. It doesn't show up when i click on the i. Just says you have not granted any special permissions to this site.

Hi Quique5831

You can open "Tools -> Page Info" directly or click the arrow in the Control Center 'i' icon drop-down list and click "More Information" to access Page Info.

You can inspect cookies and passwords and permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • click the "Site Identity icon" (Control Center 'i' icon) at the left end of the location/address bar
  • click the arrow to expand the security message
  • click "More Information" to open "Tools -> Page Info"
  • click "Permissions" to inspect and modify permissions
  • click "Security" to inspect and modify cookies and passwords in a standalone window
