It's so frustrating the number of websites that ask for this when you land on their page now days. It reminds me of the bad old days of popups.

".. wants to send you notifications", "... wants to know your location", etc. are insta-close-never-come-back-again sites.

Indeed incredibly annoying.

Came here to ask the same question. Browser notifications should be requested when the user explicitly asks for them to be enabled.
