    This has to be some joke right. I hope this crap won't end up in other Chromium browsers, and even if it did, you should be able to turn this stuff off. I don't want Google spying in the background. :gack:

    appreciate this, i hope firefox will follow. to many users click on push notifications where no concient what it is and what happens later. google safe list is a one way only, this feature relies on that list and is used in browser only. in special for firefox i read over and over again stupid comments about the safe list. Initially it was from google, but it is served now from mozilla servers which reserve privacy.
