There is one more reason why the acceptance rate of notification prompts is low (3%), other than the two points mentioned by Mozilla.
THAT reason is that simply people do not want to be notified. They value their attention in these times of constantly being bombarded by attention seeking prompts, ads and notifications, that if asked, people surely chose not not being bombarded more.
- accatyyc 8y agoI’d say Mozilla is right in their wording. Your point here is also included in that - if websites showed the push dialog responsibly, it would be for example in the website settings after the user checked a box called “send me push!”. Many good web services do it this way, and if done this way I suspect the accept rate is closer to 100%. Some people might want push from news pages, but 97%+ don’t, so it makes no sense to request it immediately. They probably even lose subscribers. Someone who read some content and liked it, decided that they want push may have already opted out because they didn’t know the site yet.
