We've decided that it's better to let Gecko handle persisting content permissions, which requires an overhaul of some of PermissionDelegate, particularly onContentPermissionRequest. We'll be moving away from callbacks in favor of GeckoResults as part of this to bring the API closer to the design of the rest of GV.

Is this something that is on the roadmap and being worked on? This is still blocking our refactoring work - which itself blocks deprecating and removing some outdated components that are used in Focus.

Yup, I'm working on it at the moment. I'll keep you posted, and we can see about uplifting to 81 once it lands if that would help.

Agi, do you have a link to the bug where it got landed? I would be interested what exactly has been changed. Thanks.

It's in the dependent bugs :) Before this bug GeckoView would not store permissions and instead delegate them to the app, so it would ask for it every time it was needed. This didn't work well in Gecko where sometimes permissions need to be checked synchronously (and delegating to the app is inherently async) so we moved to a world where GeckoView stores permissions much like Desktop does.
