Note that the system-wide trust store is already used for this for webapps. The browser app runs unconfined though. If it ran confined, the user would get a system prompt that would request location access on behalf of the browser, without specifying which website actually requests the information.
Also note that the current design doesn’t use the system-wide prompt, but instead has it integrated in the webview: https:/ /docs.google. com/a/canonical .com/presentati on/d/1woHjO8K4i qyVZZlfQ4BXL0Dh YbwkEmZ7wvcUhYz HDRk/edit# slide=id. g183c60488_ 08.
