I'm pretty sure Chrome implements something like that.
If you want such an experience, just deny notifications by default (it's a browser setting) and click the little icon in the address bar if you run into a site that you do want notifications from if ghee prompt doesn't show up.

It can be so much better than this. It doesn't have to be an average of most other users. It's perfectly feasible to run user-level optimisation that runs by modeling user preferences and propensities to respond and then letting those models manage the notifications. That's what we've built at www.aampe.com
If most other users find push messages from a site useful, then allow them. Otherwise, don't. Eg. Messages from ebay that say 'you won the auction, please pay now' might have the majority of users wanting.
Whereas messages from engadget letting you know that there are 112 new trending articles might see a far lower user interaction rate.
I would like the browser to have a setting "only allow push notifications from sites that the majority of other users interact with".
