[chromium-html5] Chrome "Avoid Requesting The Geolocation Permission On Page Load"

[j***@gmail.com]

I have a map based application and once the user approved geolocation, I,
for obvious but apparently unappreciated reasons, do not make the user
enter their address every time they need a listing of nearby service
providers - rather I call the geolocation API.

Now, apparently as of 2 days ago, I am not only not provided with the
Geolocation information, I am actually not even given a rejection or error
so that my promise function can use it's error clause - which would trigger
manual address entry. Instead Chrome just won't give me the coordinates,
but not generate an error, which means I have to write all new error
handling.

Why make the user the zipcode every time? I thought that was what we were
doing with web apis. When do the native application devs care about not
running geolocation on app open?
