Edge Chromium not in notification app list
I think I figured out why it isnt working.
Looks like MS turned off the push notifications. Without it, many sites probably can't do notifications.
You have to enable native notifications in about:flags.
go to about:flags and search native notifications.
_shellprompt1515 I did both in Dev and Canary and neither of these builds can show notifications from YouTube i.e. from those Channels in YouTube free that you have clicked on the bell notification. I see neither the disappearing popup notification nor a notification in Windows 10 1809 Action Center. This after spending several hours configuring both Dev and then Canary browsers with extensions and settings.
Hi Snowbound, I apologize for missing this earlier. Notifications work for many sites, but there are several, including YouTube, for which they are not working as expected. We are actively investigating this issue. Thank you for letting us know about this.
It's not working with YouTube, Facebook and twitter also I like Edge a lot over Google Chrome but please try investigating faster than thatElliot Kirk
- One other site where I find this reliably not working is https://pinafore.social, an alternative web client for the federated Mastodon social networks. You have to have a Mastodon account somewhere to see this. Once an instance has been added, go to Settings, Instances, <your instance>, and try to activate a checkbox for Followers, Mentions, Boosts or the like, and after a few seconds, Pinafore gives the error: "Failed to update push notification settings: Registration failed - push service not available". Perhaps if you contact Nolan Lawson, the author and an ex MS Edge developer, he can point you to what exactly he is doing that provokes this error. Perhaps that helps solve the issue.
Hi Elliot Kirk , btw, these notifications are not working on Microsoft Sites like Outlook.com neither.
