Not sure what you mean. I use them all the time.
Comment on Chromium Blog: Fighting Unwanted Notifications with Machine Learning in Chrome
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Notifications in Chrome are a useful feature to keep up with updates from your favorite sites.
No, they most definitely are not. This is something I’ve never wanted or used, and almost certainly never will.
Why does this feature even exist?

It’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.

Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.

RSS readers are the way, yes; mail – most of the time: there are pretty nice Foss options I can trust, although it’s not always possible, like with free tier proton mail. As for chat clients, also true for android but not so true on desktops: like, I’m not exactly happy when telegram logs my window manager and so on.
