Earlier this year, Microsoft Edge was updated with a new feature that hides pesky browser notification dialog boxes that are commonly used by news publishers, social media platforms, and websites to continuously nag users with links to their content, spam, or even malware.
To address this problem, Microsoft Edge update is now introducing a new feature that uses a new set of APIs to enable support for background web notifications.
This will allow Windows 10 users to receive notifications while Microsoft Edge is closed and it will reduce the web notification spam by enabling real-time notifications experience.
This feature has always been limited to native apps, such as Mail & Calendar, Teams, etc and it's finally coming to Microsoft Edge PWAs and pinned sites.
To use this feature, Microsoft recommends upgrading to Edge 85 or Edge 87.
