I don't want notifications on any webpage. if I need to see an update on your website, I'll click a link/bookmark or type the URL, thank you.

I don't want any notifications from my apps either. If i want to see the latest news from my (bank app), or an advertisment from a local electronics store (from Viber), or to find out what happened "on this day" (from the OneDrive app), or that Customers are noticing me (from the Gmaps app) . What's the difference?

Point is I don't care if Safari doesn't support notifications, since I don't want them anyway. So I see it as a plus.

Imagine if you had to disable one feature toggle though? Better yet: imagine if they were only optionally enabled when you added the PWA to your home screen??

Seems like we could both easily have exactly what we want.

This would be ideal, in my opinion.

The web is literal hell when every damn site you visit wants to know your location, enable notifications, and all this other stuff.

Switching from Chromium based back to Safari was nice for me.
