About this tag
The one-time permissions tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about temporary or revocable access grants in web browsers and operating systems. Recent content highlights Chrome's Safety Check feature in Canary builds, which automatically revokes clipboard permissions from sites not visited recently, treating clipboard access as a privacy risk rather than a permanent grant.

The tag is relevant for users interested in browser privacy, permission management, and evolving security practices in Windows and web environments.
