Allow notifications similar to that of Chrome or Safari

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.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion: 0.99.113.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.5.7)
macOS 12.3 (21E230)
MacBook Pro 2018 15-Inch

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!

Browser-notifcations are a fundamental function of today's browsers and I miss it badly.

vladstudio Coming in next release

Vlad woo-hoo!

Hi, I started using a Macbook Air like 2-3 days ago and I am now trying different browsers (Orion one of them). My device is using macOS Monterey 12.4. I needed the notification feature for a few websites but it still doesn't seem to work right now, which is kinda a dealbreaker. Although, it definitely feels faster than Safari when I used it.

I used the following website for testing: https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html

It didn't work on Orion, but when I tried it on Safari and Brave, it worked.

jp06 This does work In Orion properly. What didn't for you?

Vlad Hi @Vlad , apparently it's something to do with my System Preferences, it's fine now sorry. I fiddled with it more again and I just learned that you can also allow/disallow notifications in the System Preferences and Orion's notifications is off. Still a newbie to OS X, I've only used it extensively this like past 3 days.
