Many websites ask for permissions to send you push notifications in your browser. Does anyone actually use it? Does anyone find it convenient? Is it something you’d implement in your website?

    Very rarely. I only would do it for a communication app (Discord, Element), social media (Mastodon) or recently, Beehaw!

    Hell no. I have notifications completely disabled for my entire PC, and my phone is always set to DnD.

    Out of principle websites never get push permission from me. If it is a communication app it will give me a phone push, and I can switch to that tab when I see that in my peripheral. One less thing to mute when I want no distractions.

    Absolutely not. I’ve set it so that all sites are denied automatically, so I never even get asked anymore. I can’t imagine why I would ever want that, but I’m very selective with notifications altogether.

    I mean, sure. Discord, mattermost, slack - they all ask for and get notifications. Ditto my email.

    Why wouldn’t I want that?
