Many websites ask for permissions to send you push notifications in your browser. Does anyone actually use it? Does anyone find it convenient? Is it something you’d implement in your website?

    I used to for a local news site, but they disabled them to encourage people to install their app instead 🙄

    Overall, the feature is overused and too easily tricks users into enabling notifications for sites they only visited because of a web search result.

    Notifications are useful for periodic, high quality information that is meaningful to the user.
