With the release of Edge (v84) update last year, Microsoft launched a new feature called ‘quiet notifications’ that would turn website notifications appearing as a small window into a tiny bell icon inside the address bar. This was a less intrusive way of managing website notifications, one that was enabled by default for all uses and ensured a distraction-free web browsing experience. Now, Microsoft is building upon that feature by
taking a crowdsourcing approach to decide which websites can show full-fledged notifications and whose notifications are given the ‘quiet’ treatment.
This feature is rolling out for all Edge (v88) users via stable channel
Microsoft Edge's new adaptive notification requests approach uses a scoring system to ascertain which sites can serve notification prompts depending on user interaction with the notification requests.
