    You guys actually allow websites to send you notifications? Pretty much every site that has asked me to allow notifications is one that I wouldn’t want notifications from.

      Gmail, outlook web, whatsapp web, slack web … just some examples of webapps that I use or used in the past that someone might legitimately want notifications from. Maybe you don’t use them, or are not required to use them for work, and that’s fine.

      The article is specifically talking about android though, and there you’d most likely use an app for those, so I personally never needed them on mobile, but I can see someone else might need them.

      No, I actually want that. There are use cases where it can really improve things - best example is the local translation feature in Firefox. Would you really rather have no translations, or ones that go through a server?

      This also seems like a useful feature.
