As of now, you cannot receive notifications from sites that allow it.

Expected behavior:
Similar to that of Chrome or Firefox, it would be super cool to be able to receive notifications within Orion because I rely heavily on this.

    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?

                  Thanks for fast reply!

                  I'm not sure if my terminology is correct.

                  Next picture shows what I wish Orion could.

                  This is notification triggered by Slack in Safari

                        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.

                          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.

                          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.

                                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!
