Disable it.

It's a feature some people like and use. I like getting notifications from some services I use without needing to keep a browser window open on that page to get notified. And I like not having to download and install yet another flipping app to get that feature.

I cant imagine a service that you frequent enough to want push notifications but not enough that you would be willing to install a native app for a smoother experience.

One where the developer does not have enough resources to develop for and support multiple platforms?

Right, but the parent's argument is that web notifications are a way to avoid installing a native app.

Um. Email?

>>Spivak+h5
Installing an app is not a smoother experience. Allowing notifications is one click. Also, apps don't always have the same features as websites. You also make the assumption that services I use with browser notifications also have apps. This is not true in the slightest. And in some cases, I still prefer the website over an app.

How is it hard to imagine a service I don't frequent use but when I do, I want notifications? I use these services a few times a year at most. Why would I want to install an app if they have it?

My argument is not limited to some thin line you define. Please don't speak for me or put words in my mouth that are not true.

You get it.
