Serious question though: has anyone here ever used the notifications for anything other than web based IM (slack, whatsapp)?
I think the use case for legit notifications is very small, thus the UI should be an opt-in, rather than an intrusive pop-up.
I never understood why browser makers gave it such a prominent UI, and of course in this attention seeking market it was bound to be abused. The new UI that Firefox is suggesting in the article is good, this should have been like this from the first day. I hope other browser vendors quickly follow.
