Thankfully they don’t support web push notifications. What a horrendous standard that’s turned out to be.
- scarface74 7y agoI made a mistake and turned on for Tom’s Hardware - a site that’s I thought was credible. They started spamming me immediately with advertising. Push notifications only came in handy to keep the battery draining Slack “application” off of my computer.
- the_gipsy 7y agoWhy would it be any better with apps? I had to uninstall many apps because there was no option to deactivate marketing PNs.
- floatingatoll 7y agoAll major mobile platforms let you disable all notifications from apps, sane as website push. Why were you forced to uninstall them to do so?
- the_gipsy 7y agoBecause I do want relevant PNs, like a chat message for marketplaces or billing issues, whatever. I couldn't disable something like "offers", "news", "marketing BS". When I have to turn off PNs completely for an app, there is no reason to have that app installed anymore, I might just use the website.
- floatingatoll 7y agoAh, so you didn’t “have to” uninstall apps, you simply chose to. I misunderstood your comment and retract my earlier “forced to” question, apologies.
