MicrosoftDev channel update to 76.0.176.1 is live
Any word on notifications? They don't seem to work at all in Edge Dev. The only case I managed to get them to work was in Google Calendar. When enabling notifications for the first time, Calendar sends you a test notification to tell you how they will appear, but it never appears anywhere else.
My guess is that notifications only work when the website listening for the notification is open, which is not how it works in Chrome, where the notification is sent regardless as to whether even a Chrome window is open
- Web notifications do require the browser to be open. These are notifications done through a web worker.
Push notifications (service worker) in original Edge do not require the browser to be open. However, I believe Chrome and now new Edge do require the browser to be open in order to have notifications display.
I hope the team fixes that issue, it is one of those simpler said than done sort of things since they need to hook into different plumbing.Chris Love I've noticed that Chrome does only give me YouTube and Gmail notifications when open also. I actually really need to turn off the YT ones as they are really annoying.
Chrome notifications also don't go into Action Centre so don't respect the Quiet Hours setting, I need to check but I assume MS Edge does or will respect that setting on Windows 10 now/soon?
