Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 15.04 r270

0. Flash the phone.
1. Launch the Browser.
2. Go to maps.google.com.
3. Tap “Allow”.

What happens:
2. A dialog appears, “Permission Request” “This page wants to use your device’s 
location.” Deny / Allow
3. A dialog appears, “Browser wants to access your current location.” Allow / 
Don’t Allow

What should happen: Only one dialog appears. Two is ridiculous,
especially given their visual differences.

Possible ways to solve this bug:

* The Browser should something that isn’t a dialog for site-specific
permissions, like Firefox does. (This would also have the benefit that a
background tab couldn’t steal focus with a permission dialog.)

* The Browser should have every permission by default, on the
understanding that it can be trusted to ask per-site.

* trust-store should let any app split permissions into zones granted
independently, and Browser should have one zone per Web site.

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
