Edge Insider doesn't show notifications

I have noticed that Edge Insider isn't sending push notifications. I tested both Microsoft Edge Canary and Dev versions on https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html site and they both don't show...

I'm sure I should know, Andrew, but, which "notifications", where?

Cheers,
Drew

      For me Google chrome also stays in the notification area when I set a website to send me notifications even when i close the tab, like from Instagram, Facebook etc.
      Edge should be able to do this too, all in build 19037.1

      Those are the OS not, a browser thing. Tell Windows Insider Feedback

        But Google chrome and other browsers can send notifications, it's only Edge insider that can't.
        they are called native notifications or toast/push notifications, have various names.

        Edge insider also fails to send notifications from PWAs.
