The first thing I do on any browser is to completely disable notifications, on PC and mobile both. There are zero legitimate use cases for this. If you need notifications, install an app.
> Safari for iOS and iPadOS supports push notifications as of version 16.4, but only for apps that were added to the Home Screen. Apple calls these Home Screen web apps
This should be a good enough way to prevent abuse
I loathe notifications and turn 99% of them off, but there are use cases for this and I'm glad that Apple has finally caved in to better support web apps and not only their walled garden.
On iOS it doesn't. Apps are heavily sandboxed and most interactions outside the app require explicit user permission.
I am glad the option exist and I am also happy I can choose to ignore that option for 99.99% of the websites I visit.
Bottom line: choice is good as long as it is opt-in and not opt-out.
- ordering some food or pizza when you are just for short time in different city / country - I don't want to install some dedicated app that I won't use anymore in a week or two.
- renting e-scooter when on vacation - again each country usually has different such e-bike providers.
- local taxi app - uber / gojek /grab is not in every country
