Permissions dialog doesn't distinguish between existing permissions vs new permissions

Reported by t...@agilebits.com, Apr 10 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : <Copy from: '57.0.2987.133'>
OS Version: OS X 10.12.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5: OK
  Firefox 4.x: OK
     IE 7/8/9: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1Password's browser extension had a new permission that it needed to ask for today. GC (reasonably!) disabled it until people gave permission.

However, people were greatly confused by the wording of the permission, which did not indicate which permissions were "old" and which one was "new" which led to people being concerned that we were asking for a lot more than we were.

What is the expected result?

It would be ideal if the new permission was highlighted, listed first, or otherwise made clear. Other, existing permissions, could either be left off or sectioned off in a way that makes it more clear.

What happens instead of that?

All permissions are listed together, making it impossible to tell what are new and what are old.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
