Company’s gitlab to have notifications pipeline (that I usually monitor when I push)

You guys actually allow websites to send you notifications? Pretty much every site that has asked me to allow notifications is one that I wouldn’t want notifications from.

Gmail, outlook web, whatsapp web, slack web … just some examples of webapps that I use or used in the past that someone might legitimately want notifications from. Maybe you don’t use them, or are not required to use them for work, and that’s fine.
The article is specifically talking about android though, and there you’d most likely use an app for those, so I personally never needed them on mobile, but I can see someone else might need them.

I use it for my self hosted apps, but yeah, it’s rarely useful for websites.

Yeah, I am an IT guy and at our office there have been two users in the last year who has somehow enabled notifications from what is clearly a spam site which keeps spamming notifications as if it were McAffee Anti-Virus.
I need to get a policy pushed out to disable any requests for new notifications from websites…

Where I used to work, they got those from those shady pirated audiobook sites. Just log their DNS queries for a week and you’ll know what to block.

You can do that with Firefox ESR across your company in a similar way to group policy.
