A fairly annoying issue I have with lemmy.world, is that I keep getting the push(?) notification icon in the URL bar.
It’s the little icon on the right side of the URL text, at the top of the screenshot.
In my Firefox settings, website notifications are disabled, and not a single other website has ignored that setting in ages.
It also is a bit of a security concern - what other settings might lemmy override in the background?
I’m using an older version of macOS - 10.13 High Sierra, and the current Firefox 114.02 release version (which is supporting my OS).
Can you click on the icon? What does it says? I’m not aware of any javascript API to “force” notifications.
Is it actually sending you notifications, or is that just Firefox’s way of saying “this site is trying to send you notifications”?
I assume there is a difference between the two, but how could I possibly tell?
I’m a user not a developer, the best I can manage is mess with the Fx UI with a little js and css.
Just to be clear, as said above there is no other website that has triggered that notification icon in years. I forgot it existed; and it is concerning that lemmy is overriding a browser’s security setup.
