Wow. Surely there's a more nuanced approach that would better meet the needs of both sides of this technology? That's practically a killing stroke for browser notifications, if it's really going to be the new normal for Chrome.


I know a lot of people who use Slack, Discord and other chat apps - in a browser (cause it consumes less resources this way). This new addition forces a user to jump hoops to enable notifications...


Shouldn't they work just as normal if initiated after a user gesture? E.g. a button "enable notifications" can trigger it.


Those acting in good faith have always suffered to stop those who aren't.
