Hopefully at some point they’ll get background safari notification, even at a very low “sampling” rate, e.g. check only once in ten minutes. Until then, there’s no hope for web apps compared to native apps.

Allowing websites to harass me about notifications is one of the stupidest standards I’ve seen.
No, I DONT want the latest news from X. If I did I’d use your RSS feed or Twitter or FV or something else.
Those notifications work for normal people, and there're services that will send them for free and with no limits. No wonder lots of sites use them.
I thought this existed, but nope, it's Mac only. Darn.
