When Push Comes to Web

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Explains the exact flow: register a service worker, use PushManager to subscribe and send the subscription object to your server, then POST an encrypted payload to the vendor endpoint (Firebase for Chrome/Opera, Mozilla push for Firefox); shows that service workers live outside the page and wake to display Notification API bubbles even when the browser is closed. Notes Safari still lacks web push and claims the channel reaches about three quarters of web users. Offers concrete UX rules: delay prompts, use custom permission UI, and keep messages relevant.
