This is a HUGE game changer, so excited. The number one feature request year over year has been around push notifications. It's a really big pain point for a lot of people in media trying to spam users. They block all of the high bandwith offsite resources they try to shove down peoples throats and the scripts to shut down those scripts. Finally, companies can just trick you into accepting notifications and the problem is solved.
This is great for the acerage user too. Social networks are notorious for making it difficult to engage or get updates about your friends. So this will finally eliminate the friction around realtime relationship status changes and well informed election posts
- windlep 11y agoUnfortunately you can click on the notification in Firefox and immediately kill all further notifications from the spammers. Hopefully other implementations will be more friendly to spammers and hide the 'make it stop' button deep in a sub-sub menu under an elusive Settings app.
- ossreality 11y agoAre you fucking kidding me HN? This bullshit sarcastic post is #1 in this thread? Shameful. Pure, unadulterated shame. I LOVE Chrome notifications on Android. Guess what? I have a good 25% extra battery life because I don't have Facebook for Android install, but still get push notifications via Chrome. I'm just disgusted this "snark" is upvoted.
