Notes

1. Can be enabled in about:flags

2. Supports notifications via the Push API but not the Web Notifications API.

3. Chrome for Android requires the call to be made with a service worker registration

^* Partial support with prefix.

Bugs

• Partial support in older Chrome versions refers to using an older version of the spec. Support in Safari 6 is limited to Mac OSX 10.8+.

• Firefox notifications disappear after a few seconds

• Firefox does not support notifications sent immediately after one another.
