> Browsers can register push notifications
Oh yes I didn't notice EVERY PAGE on the planet asking me for that.

Blaming all web pages for their implementations is pointless. Give up the fight and redesign the browser. Don’t remove the feature because you believed web designers would hold back on informing the browser of its web page’s capability until the user interacts with some element every web designer would create, differently.

I think a lot of websites have just poorly / sloppily implemented the push notifications. I mean if they were to end an article with a call-to-action to subscribe to notifications and/or the newsletter, it'd be a much more pleasant experience.
As it stands, I've disabled push notifications entirely (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3220216?co=GENIE.Pl...) and I've got a bookmarklet that will try and delete all sticky elements (including persistent headers, popups, greyed-out popup backgrounds, cookie banners, etc). One day I might turn that into an addon that automatically does it after a few seconds of loading a webpage, idk.
One day browsers may implement pop-up blockers again as well but this time for the inline ones. I believe Google had an addon where you could report these things.
