Once you receive a notification from a website that supports this feature, a user will receive that notification in the Action Center just as they would receive notifications from regular UWP apps. For example, a message on Facebook will prompt Microsoft Edge to let the user know about it even if you’re not currently in the browser.
A lot of rival browsers already support website notifications but only deliver them in-browser. This makes Microsoft Edge the first browser to send notifications directly to the Action Center (although Google might bring Chrome notifications to the Action Center soon, too). This is not a surprise since Edge is Microsoft’s browser and it’s completely natural for it to be more compatible with Windows 10 than other browsers. For now, this feature is available only to Windows Insiders using the latest build 14342. Just like the many features Insiders received in the previous Preview builds, real-time web notifications will also arrive to regular users with the Anniversary update this July. Edge has been recently updated with support for WOFF 2.0 fonts and Google WebM, as well. Do you find this feature useful?
