I wonder why mobile push notifications are just a side-note in this article as mobile clients are responsible for a large part of the global traffic.
However, since the discussed techs all have major problems with mobile connections, I still think it should have been discussed in more depth.
That said, I'd argue SSE is the browser equivalent of mobile push notifications.
Web Push is a distinct API for browsers to emulate native push notifications via service workers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
