    Notifications in Chrome are a useful feature to keep up with updates from your favorite sites.

    No, they most definitely are not. This is something I’ve never wanted or used, and almost certainly never will.

    Why does this feature even exist?

      It’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.

      Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.

        Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.
