It is so obnoxious when a website immediately asks to send you notifications.

  I’ve actually never seen it approached any other way (triggered by a direct action), which is somehow even more obnoxious than the prompt itself.

    Gmail at least used to do that. There was sometimes a link near the top of the page with text instructing you to click it if you wanted to enable notifications.

      Slack too ("Slack needs your permission to enable desktop notifications"). But I don't find it more annoying than showing the prompt.

  It will be nice when someone discovers the next step: A catalog of topical subscriptions, which you only offer after the user has signaled interest in a specific subdomain. What’s galling about the immediate ask is the site knows literally nothing about my intents and is deigning to suggest content to me.

  In Firefox: - about:config - Find dom.webnotifications.enabled - Set to False
