Dev channel update to 96.0.1032.0 is live
MarkBarbieri sorry for the delayed response! It's actually by design that that Bennish site doesn't output anything to push-internals. There are multiple ways to show toast notifications, and Push is just one way of doing that. Bennish doesn't use Push though, so between that and the output from push-internals, it looks like Push is working fine, and the problem is on the toast side.
So, can you try that Bennish site again, and maybe also https://web-push-book.gauntface.com/demos/notification-examples/, and then afterwards, copy over the contents of edge://histograms/Notification (if you open that histogram page before doing the tests, make sure you refresh the histogram page after doing the tests). Also, do you have Chrome on the machine, and can you see if Chrome is having the same problem? Ideally, the same channel of Chrome as Edge?
josh_bodner Thanks, that makes sense, re: the toast vs push notification, although I would have thought both are valid approaches but yet I get neither, so for me there are issues with both toast and push.
Just for clarification, I do not receive any notifications from sites such as GMail, Youtube, (or any other site). It's interesting that on outlook.com it is not even possible to toggle on the 'Desktop Notification setting'. (See attachment). Does the outlook.com team know something about the lack of desktop notification support?
I will install Chrome and test it later today.
Checking edge://histograms/Notification, Bennish does not produce any output (as expected for toast notification) and attached is the output for a single push from web-push-book.gauntface.com
Thanks
