Anyone know of websites that have enabled the push notification feature?

Here's a list of larger ones I'm aware of (These sites have it enabled for Chrome, some may not yet have it enabled for Firefox):

  Facebook
  Vice.com
  eBay
  www.mercurynews.com

Slack chat also displays desktops notifications in Chrome.

We're using Roost[1] to notify our users for relevant information. There's a demo there.

Since the feature (as far as I know) started with Safari, some Apple-centric sites were early adopters, so sites like macrumors and appleinsider have it. But as far as more mainstream, one I know of is CNN, which has it for breaking news.

The Safari feature is non-standard. Firefox implements the WebPush API that Chrome also supports. So sites supporting Safari will not automatically work in Firefox.

Facebook supports it, I believe. And maybe Gmail, though that one could be Chrome-only.

Facebook Messenger too (http://www.messenger.com/), although you have to thankfully enable it in the settings.

GMail has notification support in Safari, but it seems to be broken currently.
