The point is that you don't represent everybody, yet the browser gives you a choice instead of forcing you to do something.

- prepend 6y agoThe point is that few want this and Chrome make a default behavior that inconveniences lots of users. Chrome should default not to prompt. Safari estimates that no one wants this, and I suspect they’re right.
- onion2k 6y agoChrome should default not to prompt. It absolutely should. Making the default "never prompt" would lead to websites prompting users to modify their preferences and change security settings. We do not want to normalize that behaviour. It would be a security nightmare. The defaults might be a little annoying for users (who can switch it to never prompt if they want to) but keeping average users who do want email or chat notifications safe online should take priority.
- prepend 6y agoI don’t think average users want email or chat notifications. And I don’t think web sites would prompt this as they don’t on Safari and that works out ok. I think Chrome defaults stuff that Google thinks makes advertisers more money and Google more money. Safari defaults stuff that Apple thinks users want.
