In general I find websites asking permission to send desktop notifications extremely impolite. I have the feature disabled, and can see the site. Alternatively, maybe uBlock or Privacy Badger is blocking something which checks whether I've allowed notifications?
- ceejayoz 9y agoI can confirm the behavior - rejecting the notifications permission closed the tab out. I do have uBlock, so I wonder if a "no" takes you to some sort of advertising vendor's "why you should allow this permission" doc.
- secabeen 9y agoI did okay closing the notification permission, but not rejecting.
- visarga 9y agoFor such websites, closing and never coming back is a good option. The internet is large and full of alternatives. I often give up reading from offending sites.
- khedoros1 9y agoI've got uBlock Origin and declined the notifications, but the tab didn't close, and I was able to read the article.
- ouid 9y agoI think that the beauty of the internet is that you do not have to wait for the invisible hand of the market to produce acceptable competition. You can simply render what you choose to render, how you want to render it.
- oh_sigh 9y agoI don't mind them asking, but I'd much rather it be via one of those very unobtrusive icons in the url bar as opposed to a pop up with a choice required.
