Quick Answer
Browser permission problems often look like broken tools even when the device works. The fix is usually checking site permission, browser settings, operating system privacy settings, and whether another app is already using the device.
Step-by-Step
- Check the browser's site permission icon near the address bar.
- Confirm the site is allowed to use the camera, microphone, clipboard, location, or notifications.
- Check operating system privacy settings if the browser itself is blocked.
- Close other apps that may already be using the camera or microphone.
- Test in another browser or private window to rule out extension conflicts.
Recommended Workflow
Open the most relevant calculator or utility first, enter a realistic starting point, then use the supporting tools to check assumptions, clean inputs, or prepare the final output.
FAQs
Why does a tool say permission denied?
The browser or operating system may be blocking the site from using the requested device or feature.
Can extensions cause permission problems?
Yes. Privacy, ad blocking, and security extensions can interfere with device and clipboard access.
Why does it work in one browser but not another?
Each browser stores site permissions separately, so one can be allowed while another is blocked.
