Permission prompts are the wrong way to approach a generally good feature. It would be much more useful if you could configure the permissions you want to give once and for all in your client (browser), and there would be a standard to communicate that transparently to the server.

I keep making the same settings over and over again with different websites. That should not be necessary.

Having browser-wide permissions is actually allowed for if the constent string is stored in the consensu.org cookie. But website owners choose to use their own cookies.

Meh, I want notifications on for whatsapp but I definitely don't want them on news sites. This is the wrong way to go about this IMO. Just a default, should definitely be overridable.
