Allow notifications similar to that of Chrome or Safari

BravoZulu Interesting, what sites do you rely on notifications from?

Hello,

Could we please have an option to see a notification badge on the regular tab or vertical tab when we get a notification

a number showing how many messages we have received or just a dot to show us something has happened

that would be really cool,

thanks

can you add notification and badges for pinned tabs so it can do what sidekick browser can do but better

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Slack
2. Doesn't show message to enable desktop notifications
3. Check Slack preferences, not available there
4. Check https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html to see if notifications even work
5. When try to authorize it says "Notifications are not available for your browser."
6. Check MacOS Preferences -> Notifications
7. There is option to Allow Notifications, but can't enable Badge Icon and Sound options

Expected behavior:
Banner is shown to enable Notifications, can Allow or Deny, like all MacOS apps that require notifications

Additional info

• Only extension I'm using is Ublock Origin
• I had similar issues with other browsers like Min. Min didn't even show up in Notification settings.
• If it's problem with my OS, do you know how to resolve it, perhaps?

Orion doesn't currently implement notifications, as it's not something in upstream Safari as far as I know.

Links with https://orionfeedback.org/d/425-misc-possible-bits-of-missing-webkit-functionality (looking at functionality needed for PWA support in Orion).

Safari has the Notifications section in Website Settings. Orion doesn't. It should be added. It allows for websites to show notifications.

Notifications allows sites to show notifications in the Notification Center.

Yes. I use this for Discord (sometimes) and PulseSms (https://pulsems.app) all the time.

Using Orion pinned tabs are much lighter than Electron/Firefox, but unfortunately lack of notifications make them very hard to use.

Some users rely on web notifications a lot, so this seems like a fairly serious regression to me .

I think this was working in Orion a month or two ago, so this is not just a missing feature but a regression.

Techcable It is not a regression (feature never existed).

Steps to reproduce:
Go to https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html click 'Authorise'. The console shows "Notifications are not available for your browser."

Expected behavior:
A dialogue should pop up asking for permission to show notification just like Safari.

I could have sworn this was working at some point in the past, but can confirm the notifications API does not work now. window.Notification is undefined in Orion.

@Vlad To clarify, the Notification API appears to be missing entirely

API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification

A way to test this in browser console is to run Notification.requestPermission() on a webpage. On Orion, you get ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Notification but on Safari it works:

I just wanted to add that my pinned tabs are calendar, messenger, slack, discord and whatsapp - each of them uses Notifications API. Hopefully it will be supported soon!
