- X-Istence 16y agoGrowl would have been infinitely better in that I can then set up what the notifications look like, how long they linger on my screen and the font size and whatnot. Not sure why didn't go with Growl instead of rolling their own...
- gmurphy 16y agoGrowl is great for all the reasons you state, but Chrome doesn't use it because Growl doesn't allow HTML, and it would require us to ship Chrome with Growl for all the users who don't have it. HTML notifications can be powerful because they allow you to include live content (video of the person attempting to video chat with you) and actions (e.g. archive, reply buttons) if you choose. It's not inconceivable that someone could write something that suppressed and stripped the text out of a Chrome notification and presented it in a Growl notification.
