I’ve chosen to not use Chrome as my primary browser for several reasons, one of which is because it disregards native OS notifications in favor of its own, often to detrimental effect. On OS X, they’re an eyesore — they&#x27;re unnecessarily large and visually incongruent with the rest of the OS, and they sit beneath native notifications rendering them useless if Chrome isn’t the only application firing off notifications.<p>Per-application custom notifications made sense when there was no standardized system to use, but these days they’re entirely unnecessary.
