Dev channel update to 90.0.782.0 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 90.0.782.0 to the Dev channel. As you can see, this is the first build of major version 90 to land in Dev, and with it comes some exciting new features. ...
push notifications not working, especially on YouTube
moghaazi just to be clear, were they ever working at any point and then stopped? Our work to enable the browser to send notifications even when it's closed is still very much ongoing (which is why that feature is still behind a flag). It's also possible that another setting is affecting this, so have you recently changed any Edge System settings like to allow Edge to run in the background or to enable Startup Boost?

No, the notifications never worked, only browser extensions notification like (Pi reminder, notifications for Gmail) and a website like (Deezer) when the next song start play, they send me a push notification with the name of the song

I enabled those two options, but even before that the problem with existing

I enabled MS Edge notification in Ubuntu
Is there a way you can control my browser remotely and see it yourself?
moghaazi oh and also in the meantime, could you get some debug info for us?
- Try a demo: https://gauntface.github.io/simple-push-demo/
- If it fails, navigate Edge to edge://push-internals. This is a diagnostic page that captures push messaging errors.
- Before sharing the contents of that page, remove the "Endpoint", "Device ID", and "Channel ID" data since that's personal. Really, the last section about errors is most important.
- Type: Portable WNS client 2.0
Server: https://client.wns.windows.com/
State: Disconnected

Disconnect reason: Not started
Connection attempts: 0moghaazi Looks like this was an easy fix. That error message described exactly what the problem was: we forgot to publish a file on Linux that is needed for this to work. The fix should make it into a build in the next week or two. Thanks for helping us figure out what was going on!
moghaazi are there any settings in edge://settings/system that change your ability to use this feature? If not, it's quite possible this is just something we haven't implemented yet on Linux. There are quite a few features like sign in and sync that aren't available yet, so it's good to know that this never worked for you. I'll ask the team if that's expected.
