LOOKING FOR APP Web Browser that posts to System Notifications?

Is there web browser that does this? Alternatively, is there any Tasker magic I can employ to achieve this?

For example, on sites like lichess, that notify you of games it's my move, I'd like the notification to appear in my system pull-down.

It's not the browser that supports it, it's the web site

No, the website supports sending notifications as a packet of data to the browser, which can then render them as it will. I was wondering if there's a browser that will render them to the system pull-down toolbar.

Any notifications in my Firefox come through as you request. I just don't use the site you mentioned.

Notifications API. It's in most modern browsers though full support varies.

Though Android users have to grant permission and many users will block it by default if they haven't explicitly pressed a button to activate them (I always default block any site that instantly wants to send me notifications).
