Chrome's notification will be removed in the next browser update
Google recently announced its decision to remove the notification center it offers in its Google Chrome browser , explaining that, although it's supposed to be a useful feature, few people actually visit it.
Notifications in Google Chrome are not a new idea and have been around since 2010, but in 2013, the Mountain View search company introduced the notification center to make it easier to see missed notifications and alerts.
Basically, this feature was a hub for all notifications received when you weren't in front of the computer, but apparently, few people really want to see what they've missed in their browser.
So, the next version of Google Chrome will remove the notification center in versions developed for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, but the feature will continue to be provided in Chrome OS.
Notifications will still work
This decision doesn't change anything about notifications and Google Chrome will continue to display them just like before, but in case you miss a notification, there will be no way to view it at a later time.
And yet, this will actually cause some changes for extension developers and apps that use code to send notifications to the notification center.
“Notifications that were only sent to the notification center will now result in an error, and API events associated with the center will no longer be triggered. All other notifications will continue to work without any changes required,” Google explains, noting that the only reason for removing the notification center is to make the browsing experience simpler and simplify the process of loading and reading Web content.
We will keep you updated on the new browser version.
