      I'm on Windows 10 and got two firefox notifications for your comment. But the OS notification and browser notification is weird.

          Yeah that's probably hexbear's fault then. I used to get even more notifications. Firefox just uses an internal notification UI instead of the OS where Edge probably uses the OS mechanism.

            Lmao if a website's browser notification is able to send system level messages that sounds like a big sandbox escape security issue for the OS/browser

              It's not a "system level message", it's a notification using the OS's standard notification system.

              Is every notification you get on your phone a security issue?

                I haven't touched windows in 15 years I'm not familiar with their OS features

                  idk much about Linux's notification system, but from a quick search it looks like it's centered around a libnotify? Sounds right for Linux.

                  So this is just Windows' version of libnotify vs Firefox just doing its own thing.
