Firefox Can Now Get Push Notifications from Your Favorite Sites
I love the contrast between the motivation statements on Firefox pages vs Chrome pages about the topic. Shows that Mozilla <i>does</i> remember their values, even though we like to bitch about them:<p>Firefox[0]:<p>------------<p><i>Have you ever wished that a website could notify you when something important happened, even if you didn’t have the site open? Maybe you’ve got an incoming WebRTC call, an instant message, or a financial update. Perhaps your city just declared an emergency snow plowing schedule.<p>Sometimes you just want to know when something happens.<p>That’s what Web Push does. It’s available now in Firefox 44.</i><p>Further down, they have &quot;What about privacy?&quot; section.<p>Chrome[1]:<p>------------<p><i>If you ask a room of developers what mobile device features are missing from the web, push notifications are always high on the list.<p>Push notifications allow your users to opt-in to timely updates from sites they love and allow you to effectively re-engage them with customized, engaging content.</i><p>Thank you, Mozilla.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hacks.mozilla.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;web-push-arrives-in-firefox-44&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hacks.mozilla.org&#x2F;2016&#x2F;01&#x2F;web-push-arrives-in-firefo...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;web&#x2F;updates&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;push-notifications-on-the-open-web" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;web&#x2F;updates&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;push-notif...</a>
