How to use
- Open the page in the browser where you want to inspect permissions.
- Review the current status badges to see what is already granted, denied, or still prompting.
- Use the request buttons to trigger a real browser permission check for a specific capability.
- If a permission is denied, open your browser site settings and change it to Ask or Allow.
- Click “Refresh statuses” after changing settings to update the results.
Common use cases
Debugging device tools
Find out why webcam, microphone, or location-based tools are failing before deeper troubleshooting.
Fixing blocked notifications
Check whether browser reminders and alerts are blocked for the current site.
Privacy reviews
Quickly see what access you have already granted to a website and whether you want to keep it.
Clipboard troubleshooting
Test whether copy and paste actions are restricted by browser security rules or site settings.
Pro tips
- If a permission is denied, check the lock icon in your browser address bar to change site-specific permissions.
- Test on HTTPS or localhost. Many sensitive browser permissions are blocked automatically on insecure pages.
- Camera or microphone access can fail if another app is already using the device.
- Clipboard read usually requires a recent user action like clicking a button before browsers allow it.
- Refresh the page after changing browser site settings so the latest permission state is re-checked.
- Different browsers expose different levels of permission detail, so results may vary between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Browser Permissions Checker FAQ
What does this browser permissions checker do?
It checks the current permission state for common browser capabilities such as geolocation, notifications, camera, microphone, and clipboard access. It helps you see whether access is granted, denied, still prompting, or unsupported in your current browser.
Why do some permissions show as unsupported or unknown?
Not every browser exposes every permission through the Permissions API. Safari and some mobile browsers often support a feature but do not report its status consistently. In those cases, this tool marks the permission as unsupported or lets you test it with a request button instead.
Does clicking a request button immediately grant access?
No. The request buttons only trigger the normal browser permission flow. Your browser still decides whether to show a prompt, reuse a previous decision, or block the request based on browser rules and site settings.
Why do camera and microphone permissions require HTTPS?
Modern browsers only allow access to sensitive features like camera, microphone, clipboard, and geolocation on secure origins such as HTTPS sites or localhost. If the page is not secure, browsers usually block the request before showing any prompt.
Is any permission data sent to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Permission checks and request tests happen locally on your device and are not uploaded anywhere.
How do I reset a denied permission?
Open your browser site settings for this page and change the blocked permission back to Ask or Allow. Each browser labels this differently, but it is usually available from the address bar lock icon or privacy/site settings panel.
