I guess that's why I am getting so many "Allow to find devices on your network" alerts. Good feature overall.

Only a good feature if users have a clue what that question means. Most will click "Yes" because they want to get on with whatever they want to do.

Change it to something like "This website is trying to spy on your local devices, do you want to allow this?"

I get loads of them when I'm on a Netsweeper filtered network... pretty much any time any asset a page loads is from a blocked site (social media pixels normally).

Ah, THAT's what that is. They really need to shift the message from the BROWSER is trying to find devices to the WEBSITE is trying to find devices.

I hate that there's no "stop asking me" button.

I get those regularly in Chrome
