    Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.

    I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.

      Quite like the way that iOS handles it now. The only sites alllowed to request to send notifications are ones you have added to your Home Screen as PWAs

      What’s the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲

        Chrome makes it REEEEEALLY easy to accept these permissions now. I run into it a TON helping folks at my job.

        It’s the same mentality as people just pressing “Next” in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the “Block” or “Accept” options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it’s a system message.
