What are push notifications and why would I want it?

[DanKATL]

To be fair, it is marketing in that it's a click generator to remind/induce you to engage with the site.

In theory you can configure it by checking boxes, but in my experience disabling push notifications only means that the site constantly pesters me to enable them. I constantly see this message, and not surprisingly, choosing "never ask again" always results in being asked again in a few days.

I've not seen that happening on any of the devices/browsers I use (I use several and it's only enabled one of them). It could be a setting in your browser preferences clearing it out.

I've told it "no" many times but continue to get the question. Quite annoying......

If get a PM then I get an email alert which seems to work fine.

If u clear your cookies/preferences everytime you close your browser, you will have to answer the same questions each time has been my experience, check your browser settings.

I'm using Brave - might be a factor.

In my testing, the Brave browser can be a bit overzealous. Many sites do not display correctly without a bunch of tuning. I've also seen sites block it as malicious due to the way it tries to anonymize access with some of the settings enabled.

It's most likely a setting in your browser clearing out the preference.
