not totally on topic, but i really wish chrome would leverage os level notifications instead of rolling their own thing. they've been pretty wonky for me on el capitan lately and i really don't see much added value in the first place.

Firefox 44 added Web Push support [0]. They give you OS notifications even after closing the web site they're coming from. According to CanIUse Chrome has partial support for it[1].

Most annoying for me is that I seem to respond to 'do you want notifications' before I've processed whether it's a Chrome or OS prompt. (It's not that obvious anyway.)

Result tends to be duplicate notifications...

They're also probably two or so times the size of os level notifications (in OSX at least). So suddenly there's a huge box in the corner of my screen when I'm using a 13-inch laptop. It's quite off-putting.

Yeah, I agree. I spend alot of time in the browser when I'm taking breaks but there are many situations where I'd want OS-level notifications.

I think they really need a low/high priority with the high being OS.

There's a chrome://flags entry for that. I've tried them for a week on MacOS and they are not yet ready for prime time.

Agreed. If those Mozilla guys figured it out, surely the Chrome team can too!
