Allow notifications similar to that of Chrome or 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.

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!

Sadly, as much as I love Orion, I'll have to switch back to Chrome, since notifications from various messenger web apps are cricital for my work. I promise to switch back as soon as Notification API is supported :-)

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

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.

Hi @Vlad , is there an ETA when the type of push notification I mentioned above will be supported? Thanks!
