Why did this site prompt me for permission to send notifications? Did my browser just do something weird? Seems strange

Blog owner here. The notification prompt uses standard browser support for this. I know many people don’t like, but there are some that appreciate getting updates this way.

FYI, every major browser has a global switch to disable notification prompts like my blog did. It works as expected.

Tons of sites do that, because everyone who designs websites is a moron.
