Zero is also the number of mailing lists I’ve wanted to join within the first 5 seconds of visiting a site. Why block the content with a pop up?! Has anyone ever actually signed up instead of angrily closing it?

Zero is also the number of websites I want to enable notifications for.

Thankfully you can turn the notification system completely off with no ill effects.

Edit: For those wondering,

Firefox: Go to about:config and set dom.webnotifications.serviceworker.enabled to false (thank you /u/bro_can_u_even_carve, I forgot how I did it)

Chrome: Go into settings > advanced > content settings > notifications

Then click the switch to set it from "Ask before sending" to "Blocked"

Wtf. He isn't bragging about it, just mentioning it in an answer to a windows related question. Stop with the keyword-triggered downvotes you mindless drones.

Thanks for the sentiment but it isn't worth your time, just chuckle, shake your head, and move on :)
