Push Notifications Inconsistent
Hi all,
Currently running the latest Dev channel release (88.0.685.3) on 2 laptops (1 Windows, 1 Mac), but have been having this issue on both for as long as I can remember.
Push Notifications just don't work on most websites (I've also just installed Canary on both laptops and confirmed it happens on there too). Some examples:
- YouTube: Notifications are allowed and turned on in YT settings, but none appear
- Twitter: Same as above, notifications are allowed and turned on, but don't appear
- Facebook: Notifications are allowed in Edge settings, but the option to enable them in Facebook doesn't appear at all when using Edge:
(However I just noticed it appears if I use a User Agent extension to appear as Chrome)
But using another browser, the setting appears as normal:
There are some sites where notifications work without issue, e.g. Gmail, Reddit, most notification test sites.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- reset all website permissions
- disable and re-enable Edge notifications in System Preferences
- completely uninstall and re-install Edge
- Check the OS itself is up to date on both laptops
Nothing seems to resolve it. Any other suggestions, or ideas as to why this is only happening for some websites?

- Try turning on these flags
edge://flags/#edge-push-winrt
edge://flags/#edge-toast-winrt MitchDahl i have two or tree suggestions.
If you are on windows 10
1. Go to System setting, system, notification and action, and see if (autorise notification to emit sound), and see if edge is checked on the list.
2. In System setting, system, concentration assistant, disable it and disable automatic rules (during the test).
3. System settings privacy notification and check they are enabled and autorise app to have access to them (some time if i disable that notification "just" don't work).
If these tree fail, i think it's better to fill a bug (alt + shift +i) and/or wait than a moderator see this post an come to you.
