It's useful for "native" web-based apps, both on mobile devices and things like Electron. But for regular browsers: yeah nah. Although, for some things like Telegram web or email it could be useful; the problem here is (as always): how do you allow the useful uses without the twats moving in to engage in their twattery?
I never heard of this before though, but turns out it's been in Firefox since 2016. I did set "always deny" for notifications a few years ago as I got so tired of all the sites whining about it, so I guess that includes these push things too(?) Sites still whine about it with in-site popups of course if they see that permission is denied... Sigh...
When looking it up a bit for this comment I found this description that I found somewhat amusing:
"Web push notifications allow users to opt-in to timely updates from sites they love and allow you to effectively re-engage them with customized, relevant content."
Lotsa words for "allows you to spam them ads".
