"Always show" is confusing text on pop-up blocker UI |
||
Issue descriptionWhen a pop-up is blocked, we show an infobar with a string (being discussed in issue 731328 ) and a button that reads "Always show". This is confusing because: 1) It's not clear if it means always show pop-ups, or always show the infobar that a pop-up has been blocked 2) It's not clear if "always" means for this domain, or truly always (global setting) One suggested option is "Show pop-up", though this may not indicate that the setting is sticky for the domain. Shimi, assiging to you but feel free to re-assign :)

Thanks! I like them both, with a preference for the slightly longer one ("Show popups on this site"). I think that does a good job of indicating that "show" refers to the popup, and not the infobar.
Nit: do we use "popup" or "pop-up"? I actually don't remember.

I see my own string reflects our general inconsistency in the UI: ~6 instances of "pop-up" ~10 of "popup" ~2 instances of "pop up" [noun], which I wouldn't recommend Typically, hyphen usage in compound words drops off after a word becomes commonplace. For now, based on a quick Google Trends search, I'm inclined to keep the hyphen.

Cleaned up the mock w/the preferred string. The longer string is my preference, too. Assigning to Hannah to review & for next steps.

Looks like other browsers tend to use pop-up, though MDN uses popup: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XUL/PopupGuide I'm fine either way.

I think we should be as consistent as possible with permission prompts. They currently don't emphasize that the decision is permanent for the site (especially on desktop), and if we do something like that here we should update those prompts too.

qq: Most infobars on Android use a linear layout with wrapped text. Which existing infobar has "title + subtitle" layout that the proposed design in #4 shows? |
