I need to use icloud.com on my windows computer from time to time for the calendar.
However the desktop notifications don’t work on brave. I tested other browsers like firefox and edge and they work without issues. When trying to activate them the error message in the screenshot appears. I allowed notifications for icloud.com in brave itself.
@honk,
Do other websites in Brave show notifications without issue? For example, if you were to enable desktop notifications for this site (https://community.brave.com), do those notifications come in normally?
It may be a limitation of the web app itself if that’s what you’re using. Additionally, you may need to ensure that Brave has permissions to show you notifications on your OS itself.
Yeah but why would it work on youtube but not on icloud or brave community. It would also surprise me that the official brave forum wouldn’t support the brave browser.
I really believe that this is either a bug or a wrong configuration on my end.
Brave has the permission for displaying notifications in my OS hence youtube notifications are working.
Okay since I got this working I have a follow up question.
I had to activate “use google-services for push-notifications”.
Apparently that’s what brave is using for notifications if the web app doesn’t use some kind of own backend.
My question now is what implications does that have for privacy?
Firefox’ notification service is enrypted so mozilla can’t actually see any notification contents. How is this handled in brave specifically and chromium generally. Can google see all the push notifications I’m getting?
