BROKEN: "Always allow actions on this site" does NOTHING - Claude in Chrome re-prompts on every single action

This feature is broken to the point of being useless, and it wasted an hour of my time.

I clicked "Toujours autoriser / Always allow" - ONLY that, never "allow once" - every single time. It NEVER saved. Not once. "Your approved sites" (Vos sites approuves) stayed completely empty no matter how many times I approved.

The result: a permission popup on EVERY click and EVERY keystroke, every two seconds, for an hour straight. I could not step away for a moment. So-called "automation" that requires me to sit there clicking "Allow" nonstop is not automation - it is a worse, slower version of doing the task by hand.

The task was trivial: reply to comments on MY OWN Facebook page. It should have taken minutes. Instead it was an hour of clicking "approve" into the void.

Root cause is obvious and already documented: the bridge request sends permissionMode "ask" and ignores every stored "always allow" value. Writing permissionStorage and lastPermissionModePreference does nothing because the code never reads them. So the one button users are told to click is decorative.

Fix it. Make "Always allow" actually persist and actually be honored on subsequent actions and bridge requests. Until then, stop advertising unattended browser automation, because it does not work.

Platform: Windows 11, Chrome.
