Two layers of permission

Android controls whether Nirvana may access hardware such as the camera or location. Nirvana then controls which website may use that access. Both layers must allow a feature before it works.

Review a site

Open the site-information panel near the address bar or Settings → Site permissions. Inspect camera, microphone, location, notifications and other requests individually. Deny a request when the site does not need it.

Fix an accidental choice

Reopen the site’s permissions and change the choice, then reload. If access is still denied, check Android Settings → Apps → Nirvana → Permissions. Removing site permission does not remove files already shared with that site.
