The worst thing about Safari is the “Do you want to receive notifications from this website?” pop-up that appears every time you hit some random notification-supporting website for the first time.
There has got to be a better way to implement notification subscriptions than this annoying pop-up.
- atombender 8y agoYou can turn this off. Go to Preferences, then Websites, then Notifications, then at the bottom of the window there's a checkbox: "Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications".
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoI have this turned off and yet somehow websites still ask for push notifications. I legitimately don't understand what's happening there.
- ianai 8y agoWebsite push notifications shouldn’t be a thing. Way too ripe for exploitation.
- saagarjha 8y agoIt's nice for webapps, though.
- Reason077 8y agoI actually find notifications very useful and definitely don’t want to turn them off. But the way the subscription mechanism is implemented with a pop up is annoying and archaic. There must be a better way to let users know that notifications are enabled than sticking a pop-up in their face.
- jiveturkey 8y agochrome and FF also do this. all 3 have an option to disable the prompt (and not accept notifications).
