so chrome supports the notifications but only if you are currently on the page? is that right?

  No. Chrome has supported notifications even when you have no browser windows open since Chrome 42, released mid 2015. https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/push-notifications/?hl=en https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-start...

    Is this page out of date or are those two other features related to the push api that arent supported by chrome unrelated to what firefox just released? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API

      It's not out of date. Chrome does not yet support Message Payloads in the public release, here's their description for it on chromestatus.com: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5746279325892608 https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5746279325892608 The workaround for now is to have the service worker fetch the payload from an API endpoint that the sender implements themselves.

I can definitely see how this can/will subplant shallow webview-wrapping apps in the long run.
