Jungkee_Song Any chance we can get an update on this one https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/potential-bug-retrieving-service-worker-notifications-on-macos/m-p/1813448? We just ran into it today, and figure it's a pretty bad bug as it can affect notifications. Essentially, calling "getNotifications()" (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ServiceWorkerRegistration/getNotifications) in the service worker in Edge on macOS just hangs on the promise, and never resolves. For us, this results in our service worker notifications never being sent as they're created in the code following that call. It works fine in Edge on Windows.
