Are you using native notifications with websites? I'm really annoyed by the trend of actual websites asking for access to the notification feature when I just want to read an article then leave.
The last thing I need is more notifications.

You don't get notifications for messaging? Text, email, etc? And phone calls? Those are all things a person might want a web app to handle.
I agree the notification requests in browsers are too obtrusive. In an app store they have the property of only asking when you choose to install. On the web there is no install so the request for access is not in response to any action you took, which is annoying.
I think they should make the notification request block the whole app so that sites only put it up when it's the main thing they want to show.
That aside... the point ia for some apps, like messaging, it is necessary.
I am building an app for selling food, people need to know when to start prepping an order. notifications are a must.
I agree that there are good cases for notification.
It's difficult to find the correct amount of them and it's too easy to get so much of them so that everything important is being lost in the noise.
I don't know what's the correct balance is but for my own usage I'm ok using emails as a notifications spooler and only use native notifications for some specific usages (mostly chat and email clients). What's sure is that I don't care about notifications from my browser.
Btw I can only say for myself, we all have different way to use our tools. If your clients are happy with your notifications, great. I know I would disable them.
