The user would get rid of the app/browser that is doing this, no? The same way they would have to for any malicious app that persistently requests a special permission?
Yeah ideally. Given there are nearly 1.5 billion active iPhones tho, a lot (100s of millions) of users aren't going to understand the relationship between the prompts and the browser and/or know (/know how) to uninstall the browser and/or have desire to do it at the moment they experience the problem, especially if the browser has other qualities they like. Many more would just blame it on themselves, ignore the problem, etc. These users may make up a plurality or majority of iOS users, and have a totally different experience from a technical user working on a desktop OS (HN crowd).
