I just wrote in a thread over on reddit how I use Chrome specifically for its implementation of desktop notifications. Native notifications on OSX are lacking to say the least. They show very little information when compared to Chrome. I hope this is an option that can be switched off when rolled out to stable at a later date.

Last year Chrome announced it's discontinuing support for it's notification center (http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/14/9531133/google-removing-c...) on Mac and PC, so I imagine they are replacing it with native versions of each OS. To note, Stable is always several weeks behind Canary, so you can see the latest build of the notifications which shows more info than the stable version.
But surely Google want to keep notifications more interactive. Native notifications on OSX only allow for minimal interaction and are truncated to a small number of characters. I really hope they allow for other options.
