Gecko notes
- Prior to Firefox 22, the instantiation of a new notification must be done with the
navigator.mozNotificationobject through itscreateNotificationmethod. - Prior to Firefox 22, the Notification was displayed when calling the
showmethod and was supporting theclickandcloseevents only.
Chrome notes
- Prior to Chrome 22, the support for notification was following an old prefixed version of the specification and was using the
navigator.webkitNotificationsobject to instantiate a new notification. - Chrome does not implement the
Notification.permissionproperty yet.
Safari notes
- Safari started supporting notification with Safari 6 but only on Mac OSX 10.8+ (Moutain Lion).
