Website notifications are the plague of the modern internet.\u00a0They usually ask permission to send alerts when new content appears, but most users find them annoying.\u00a0They are of no use, they only interfere with your web browsing.\u00a0To remedy the situation, Microsoft added a feature to its browser that automatically blocks these notifications.\u00a0However, there is a category of people who would still like to interact with them, so the company is changing its approach and using smart algorithms.<\/p>\n
Microsoft said the latest version of the Edge browser (88) collects data on how users interact with these toast notifications.\u00a0The company will track the actions people take (allow, block, completely ignore, or reject) to create a scale of annoyance.\u00a0If this number is very high, Edge will automatically turn off site notifications.\u00a0Microsoft will begin experimenting with tweaking this feature over a period of time and will take into account user feedback.<\/p>\n
“This should be a strong motivation for sites to follow best practices and only ask for permission to send notifications when users are most likely to agree,” says the Microsoft Edge blog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Along with this, the developers have added other features and improvements to their browser.\u00a0For example, starting from version 85, Edge can send PUSH notifications even when the program is already closed.\u00a0In addition, the browser has learned to automatically turn off Windows 10 full-screen notifications without requiring any action from the user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
