Google removes the Notification Center of Chrome because of lack of interest
Google announced a new change that concerns the desktop versions of the Chrome browser and, specifically, the Notification Center.
The Notification Center of Google Chrome is that section which contains push notifications sent by the browser, not to be confused with push notifications such. It is the Notification Center, then, that Google intends to give up, not to push notifications in the strict sense.
Chrome began to support push notifications for web pages using the standard Web Push since last spring, as noted on his own blog. ” This does not mean that notifications of Chrome did not exist before, as the app and Chrome extensions supported push notifications on your desktop in 2010, ” notes Google.
For as I think, notifications can appear even when the user is away from his position, and why Google has decided to introduce a Notification Center that would gather in any case. ” A place where users can dredge up notifications from apps and the Chrome extensions if you were aware of transmission, ” he says in the blog.
” Few people visit the Center Notifications and why, in order to keep Chrome as simple and accessible as possible. We decided to remove it in a future release for Windows, Mac and Linux, ” said Google.
The change will mean extra work for developers, which will have to review their applications to cease to rely on the Notifications Center. At the moment, it is unclear. What will be the first version of Chrome without support?
