people using Edge/Chrome/Safari/Opera saying "it's not working on my specific browser on version x.y.z". So I'm only willing to add that feature if we are sure it's a standard things working in most environments.

[The API looks pretty standard to me. Firefox, Chrome, Opera have been supporting it for about 9 years, Safari for almost 6. I didn't find out when Edge 14 was released, but they're at version 112 now.
Since browsers don't want to annoy their users, many don't allow websites to ask for permissions without user interaction. So the workflow would be something like: The user has to press a button "please ask for permission", then the browser opens a dialog "do you want to grant this website permission to show notifications?" and only then it works. So I don't think it's an annoying popup-mess, especially since system notifications don't capture the focus and typically vanish after a few seconds. If that feature is hidden behind a button on the config page, it shouldn't lead to surprises. Especially since users can always revoke that permission. |
