> If a user denies the notification request then the site is never allowed to ask again

Sites will start doing what apps have been doing for a while on ios, use a custom dialog to ask for the permission until they agree, only then will they trigger the native, one time only dialog.

LinkedIn only offer an agree and a not now option. It's really irritating. I'm literally never going to enable that.
It wouldn't be their first UX dark pattern.
I have already experienced this in several sites, which I didn't make note of. Comically enough, since they detect that I'm on a Mac (correct), they determine that showing a Safari-esque fake notification would be good enough? Using mainly Chrome, it certainly looks out of place, and fake/fraudulent.
