Broken push notification on Edge 107 @ Windows 11

Copper Contributor

It looks like a critical bug in latest Edge 107 release on Windows 11.

 

It's impossible to subscribe to Push Notifications, because the prompt for it doesn't appear anymore.

In DevTools console, you can see the text of the error:

 

Chrome is blocking notification permission requests on this site because the site tends to show permission requests that mislead, trick, or force users into allowing notifications. You should fix the issues as soon as possible and submit your site for another review. Learn more at https://permanently-removed.invalid/webtools/answer/9799048.

 

It contains a strange link that appears to be broken: "Learn more at https://permanently-removed.invalid/webtools/answer/9799048".

It also says "site tends to show permission requests that mislead, trick, or force users into allowing notifications", but I have tested it on multiple popular news websites, that are totally safe and they do work in other browsers. For example: https://meduza.io/

If you refresh a page multiple times, it will stop showing this error in console and you can see that Edge has blocked this site's push notifications in "Site Permissions" settings.

@kitich Just saw something similar ironically in a chat window with Apple Support. I see the Notifications blocked icon and when I click on it, there's an (i) 'Learn more' that opens up https://permanently-removed.invalid/chrome/answer/3220216

Looks like the original URL was supposed to be 'support.google.com' instead of 'permanently-removed.invalid'. Something that was missed when customizing Edge Chromium from the original Google codebase I guess?

I have faced with a problem in Edge 114 that a prompt for allowing receive push notification with buttons "Block" and "Allow" doesn't appear at all after a user interaction by clicking on a button "Yes" in a popup asking users about push notifications.

So, Edge doesn't count it as user interaction and show an icon "bell" at adress bar with information, that all notifications are blocked.

Also, I can't find any information for Edge how we should ask users for receiving push notifications? We did like suggested on web.dev with good Push Notification UX
