> If a user denies the notification request then the site is never allowed to ask again

Sites will start doing what apps have been doing for a while on ios, use a custom dialog to ask for the permission until they agree, only then will they trigger the native, one time only dialog.

LinkedIn only offer an agree and a not now option. It's really irritating. I'm literally never going to enable that.

It wouldn't be their first UX dark pattern.

I have already experienced this in several sites, which I didn't make note of. Comically enough, since they detect that I'm on a Mac (correct), they determine that showing a Safari-esque fake notification would be good enough? Using mainly Chrome, it certainly looks out of place, and fake/fraudulent.

> If you don't put the request in the context of a specific action you're screwing yourself over.

Very, very true; perfect example being iOS's trend towards 'soft-onboarding' privacy controls such as mic/camera/location.

That just turns everyone into boiling frogs.

I only see it in Slack, and there it's very much justified IMO.

I see it about once a day, on news sites; I commented about it recently in another thread.

Slack and similar apps are the only reasonable use of this that I can imagine. Maybe gmail?
