Good description .. examples would include a popup notification, if you subscribe to a YouTube channel and there is new content, or a text notification on your order status if you used UberEats.

If you want pop-ups saying "miketx had another brain fart", enable them!

Why would anyone need that. Mikey's brain farts are as dependable as the sun coming up in the east. We know it happens. No need to announce it.

Push notifications aren't always a good idea. Spooning with your lady friend can be nice experience but might end immediately if she isn't interested in your push notification.

There are a dozen places that want me to approve push notifications. I just cleaned out a dozen or so I'm not willing for any more.

I wouldn't enable them. But we did just get a PWA going for this site. A PWA is essentially a phone app for those on mobile. It automatically asks about the push notifications. I just disabled it so more people don't get it.
