Browser notification confusion

[chilihead]

What exactly is a browser notification and what does it look like?

I have them off:

But I still get the sound, the pause icon in the tab, and the black notification pop-up at the bottom. Are those all site notifications and not browser?

I know the sound is a setting but I shouldn't have to turn it off if browser notifications are off, so confused. Thanks

Turn them on and you'll see the difference - the items you mentioned are all generated and displayed in the tab that the site displays in. A browser notification will show up in the browser when you are not actively viewing the site - enable them temporarily and then when someone replies to a topic you are following then you will see what it is.

I did enable to test thanks. I'll check it out. But the sound, that should not be happening with them off, I think that part would be a bug no? Thanks

Play a sound when I receive a browser notification (it is checked but browser notifications were off)

Nope, it's a sound that will be there for both site and browser notifications. What is that "Play a sound when I receive a browser notification" - is it a setting in your profile or in your browser? If you think that's a bug then go ahead and log a bug in the tracker.

It's an IPS setting and says browser only. Pretty sure bug just didn't want to add to the tracker unnecessarily.

Okay just saw your reply when in a non-IPS window, pretty cool.
