The constant nagging to "download the app" is worse. Notifications can be left off, for a website or an app - this constant install-app-nagging is unavoidable now.
It absolutely IS possible to add the feature, as opt-in like with app permissions, and e.g. with some user-initiated event like audio already does.
The REAL motivation here is money, forcing users to use the appstore, instead of the web which is an open protocol.

- mark_l_watson 6y agoThis is true. I usually remove all cookies and data from my devices every three of four days - it just seems tidy to do so, even though I usually open a private tab for following links. There is the slight annoyance of logging back in to a few web sites and turning off notifications. That is definitely an opportunity cost, since it takes a little time.

- michaelt 6y agoHow is constantly getting nagged to download the app any different to constantly getting nagged to enable notifications?
- bioipbiop 6y agoAt least on desktop, browsers don’t allow you to be nagged once you’ve decided against receiving notifications.
