You can also add OS notifications and browser notifications to the list of things consumers never asked for. I'm sure there is some utility for some people. But for the most part, it's just further attempts to increase "engagement" at the cost of user experience.
- jeroenhd 4y agoAs someone who uses web apps in my browser rather than Electron versions of the same application packaged with a slightly outdated Chromium engine: don't take away my notifications. I'm glad browsers have decided to simply block notifications by default. The constant insistent notification prompts by terrible developers trying to get me to accidentally sign up to their stupid blog news feed annoyed the crap out of me. I already had notifications set to denied by default long before browsers started shipping the policy and I do the same for other permissions. Notifications are extremely useful for actual web applications. Blogs and news sites should stay the hell away from my notification area.
