Microsoft Edge update is now introducing a new feature that uses a new set of APIs to enable support for background web notifications.

Quiet notifications were enabled by default but starting Microsoft Edge version 88 they will be disabled by default instead to make Adaptive Notification Requests work.

Microsoft is now using crowdsourcing to determine whether to show a site's website subscription dialog prompt in the Microsoft Edge web browser.

In Microsoft Edge 84, Microsoft introduced "quiet notification requests" by default to tame spammy alerts from websites that want permission to issue notifications to users.

While Microsoft Edge has amped up its security against spammy notifications, you can still benefit from useful notifications.
