Can we please stop with this trend of random websites asking to spam me with notifications? Is there some framework everyone's using that's trying to grab notification permissions at every possible opportunity? At the very least, sites should at least tell me what they're going to have pop up as a notification and give me the option to subscribe to those notifications through some link in the actual site (like what Gmail does when desktop notifications aren't enabled yet).
I understand notifications are useful for "webapps", but for a blog post they seem entirely useless, so every time I see the prompt to allow notifications I reject it immediately on the basis of it almost certainly being spam.
