Having seen it in the wild I agree that it's more trouble than it's worth, and we'd be better off if the whole feature was ditched until/unless it can get a serious re-think. I'd be very surprised if the ratio of unwanted-to-wanted web-push messages is better than 10:1. I'd not be at all surprised if it's closer to 100:1.

A mozilla study showed that sites already try and show <<100s billion notifications to users a year.

> Notification prompts are very unpopular. On Release, about 99% of notification prompts go unaccepted, with 48% being actively denied by the user.

So 99%+ are spam and the rest are probably users who accidentally hit accept.

For a while I would get web pushes from some new site I just have visited once and accidentally accepted. I had no clue how to disable them for ages until a friend showed me. (Yes I could have looked it up, never reached critical energy)

I have to imagine many people are in the same boat.

But engagement is up 3%!
