Steps to reproduce:

on some sites, notification or geolocation is displayed in real time in support.

Actual results:

some people accept it without reading it because they are only interested in the content.

Expected results:

such as video playback or pop-ups (window.open()), notification and geolocation prompt must not trigger without user action (click).

We're already doing this for notifications and are considering for geolocation, though I don't think we have a bug for that at the moment.

(For notifications, the restriction is shipping 72)
