Website push notifications shouldn’t be a thing. Way too ripe for exploitation.

I actually find notifications very useful and definitely don’t want to turn them off.

But the way the subscription mechanism is implemented with a pop up is annoying and archaic.

There must be a better way to let users know that notifications are enabled than sticking a pop-up in their face.

It's nice for webapps, though.
