Edge Chromium not in notification app list
I posted this in the welcome thread but it probably got buried so posted it here as a separate topic which makes notifications and following it a lot easier. Is there any known problem with the E...
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.
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.
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.
