Most casual users want to see a quick list of permissions and just click allow---not build their own allowlist for every app they download.

If you want to build the allowlist yourself, doesn't firejail already do what you want?

It would be nice to grant permissions in a fine grained way and not just have a blanket accept or reject. For example, if I download a weather app, chances are it will want location and internet access. If I don't want it to have my precise location I should be able to deny location but grant access to the internet.
