Website is allowed to access camera without asking for permissions

Reported by ciac...@gmail.com, Jan 19 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open https://webqr.com with Android Chrome (on Nexus 6)
2. The box in the middle of the page shows content from the camera

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should not allow a site to access the camera without asking for permissions first

What went wrong?
A dialog should be opened asking the user whether the site can access the camera or not. This is not happening

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.91  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

This happens with Google Nexus 6 running the newest OS, I don't know if this happens on other phones/platforms too
 
This should only happen if permission has previously bee granted on the device.

When you tap on the lock icon for https://webqr.com, do you see a line that says "Camera – Allowed"?

Hi, you are right. Under settings the site was granted, I don't really understand it. I must have granted it without realising it.

If it was not my mistake and I am able to reproduce this behaviour I will try to describe it.

Sorry
