           Summary: Require transient activation to use API
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 14
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified

It would be nice if, in order to use the Geolocation API, transient activation was required. 

There is a proposed Geolocation API spec change at:
https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-api/pull/94

The benefits being less annoying prompts for users.

Naturally, this would break *a lot* sites, so it would be great to coordinate on a strategy across browsers. There is support from Chrome and Mozilla to work together to figure out a strategy (see GitHub pull request link above).
