Why use ai for this? Just block notifications by default and manually allow the sites you want.
You guys actually allow websites to send you notifications? Pretty much every site that has asked me to allow notifications is one that I wouldn’t want notifications from.
Yeah, I am an IT guy and at our office there have been two users in the last year who has somehow enabled notifications from what is clearly a spam site which keeps spamming notifications as if it were McAffee Anti-Virus.
I need to get a policy pushed out to disable any requests for new notifications from websites…
Where I used to work, they got those from those shady pirated audiobook sites. Just log their DNS queries for a week and you’ll know what to block.
Unwanted notifications? I’ll give you unwanted notifications:
I firmly believe the day Randal dies will be the day many of us stop using the internet.
Notifications in Chrome are a useful feature to keep up with updates from your favorite sites.
No, they most definitely are not. This is something I’ve never wanted or used, and almost certainly never will.
Why does this feature even exist?
It’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.
nobody wants machine learning ai nonsense in a browser
No, I actually want that. There are use cases where it can really improve things - best example is the local translation feature in Firefox. Would you really rather have no translations, or ones that go through a server?
This also seems like a useful feature.
