Why native API? Because when there's a new web push notification and user misses it, there's no way to find out what it was. Using OS's native API will allow the notification to be kept in Notification Panel unit users sees it and dismiss it.

I believe Linux too have some sort of native notification APIs too.

It'd be really awesome to have native notifications support on operating systems which now have pretty good notifications APIs.

On macOS, Firefox should be using the native API already - are you seeing something else?

On Windows, this is currently being worked on; you can click the "follow" button here to get notified when this feature is added.

In NIghtly 67 on Windows 10 this feature still hasn't landed, although the corresponding thread on Bugzilla is marked as resolved.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155505

Any clues what's happening with this?
