Offline makes sense, you are right. I'm being privileged.

But for notifications, even the only-once* prompt is an annoyance we never had to deal with before. It's like the European Cookies Law: great in essence, but when every website bugs you about it then the problem has been exacerbated, not solved. I don't care about receiving notifications for a website I visit once in a blue moon, and I especially don't care to be even asked. There should be an action that triggers the prompt, like some kind of opt-in.

Edit: same with "app banners"

*it never is, because cross platform, multiple devices, multiple browsers. A fucking pain.
