As an iOS and MacOS user..... GOOD.

I hate websites trying to give me notifications. I like that I don't get stupid prompts from mobile Safari about that kind of thing.

Instead you get "stupid prompts from mobile Safari" to install apps, which websites mostly do so they can send you push notifications: same prompts, even more annoying (as often the "carrot" is that some of the content or UI requires the app).
Honestly I don't see a lot of those anymore. Perhaps it's the ad blocker, perhaps it's the fact that they realized it doesn't work well, or perhaps I just don't go to sites that push it.
