BoardGameArena uses push notifications to let players know it's their turn.

I prefer running Slack in the browser, and I need to receive message notifications.

Push notifications aren't any less useful to have in browsers than in native apps.

Though I would like to see the prompt locked behind "add to home screen".

Sadly, boardgame arena also pushes advertising for new games and features through the notifications as well. I'm sure it's possible to disable specific categories, but it unfortunately undermines their value even more when otherwise legitimate sites still somewhat abuse push notifications.
