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.
Allow notifications similar to that of Chrome or Safari
@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.
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.

Yeah you also need to make sure that "Allow notifications" switch is on for Orion in System Preferences. Inconvenience!

Hi again, I find one website that I can't make the notification permission pop-up (but it does appear on Safari). One will need to create an account to test though: https://www.wuxiaworld.com
Once you created an account, try clicking Enable push notifications
.
jp06 I've posted that request when Ventura came out: https://orionfeedback.org/d/3524-web-push-notifications-supportenhancement/3
