It's kind of like when a website begs for permission to use your location over and over even though you say no every time, until you screw up and say yes — and then you never hear about it again. These ideas arise over and over until one makes it through, and then we have lost that bit of liberty for good.

Which browser are you using? Chrome doesn't ask again if you say no.

I may honestly be misremembering, because I use Brave, whose behavior usually follows Chrome. At any rate, it's typical of the "Can we? You sure? You sure? You sure? OK, thanks!" anti-pattern we all hate.

That’s why sites ask you first with their own dialog, and only if you say yes do they pop up the browser dialog.
