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).
What's "transient activation"?
Oh, https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#transient-activation-duration Do people frequently hit geolocation prompts within a few seconds of each other?

No, we would consume the activation as it usually displays the prompt (just haven't added that to the spec yet).

Just noting that there are is another idea being thrown around, like only requiring transient activation on third-party contexts... that might reduce a little bit of breakage. In any case, open to ideas and really hope folks here can provide some feedback
