In the real world the default action for a user when presented with a permissions popup is to accept it because they get asked 20 times a day, have no idea what the implications of it are and just want to get on with their day.

So software designers need to avoid asking the users to approve potentially highly dangerous things.

I think Safari does this with popups & downloads. Tiny little icons that barely appear [to change]. Can annoy me when I miss them but sometimes I figure maybe it’s for The Greater Good.
