I feel like browser manufacturers need to make "This website would like to embed itself into your browser and send you push notifications indefinitely" pop-up a little bit more scary if websites are getting this scummy.
- raverbashing 9y agoThat and autoplay videos, seem to be a race in obnoxiousness
- erikj 9y agoWho is even using these browser notifications willingly at all?
- adtac 9y agoI have enabled notifications on gitter (for a project I'm a maintainer of) when I'm directly mentioned. That's a legit use-case. But pretty much every other prompt has been obnoxious.
- StavrosK 9y agoA friend and I made www.timetaco.com, which gives you a countdown to an event you specify, and can send you a notification a few minutes earlier. I think that's one of the few legit use cases I've seen.
