One of the issues here is that the browser is prompting the user for all the Permissions at install time. Both Android and IOS have moved away from that. Perhaps it is time browsers to move away from that as well.
Extensions are one thing, but I'd also welcome granular permissions to various JavaScript capabilities for every website. I don't like when some websites capture native browser hotkeys (CTRL+F), disable my right mouse button, change scrolling behavior or perform asynchronous HTTP requests. The only solution I found to protect against these practices is disabling JavaScript completely for given site, but more often than not it prevents the page from rendering altogether.
