What exactly is this ?? I'm getting the pop up banner across the bottom of the screen asking for permission to enable push notifications ?? I have no clue on what they are...
JckDanls 07 JckDanls 07 , I was messing with the mobile version of the forum yesterday, trying to improve that, and having push notifications enabled is a requirement for the PWA.

If there's a way to turn it back off and still make the mobile version available, I will. I'm reading over at the Xenforo forum to find out what the options are. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the hassle!

Honestly, I'm not sure what it does either (even with it on) BUT

go to your profile (click your username top right) then 'PREFERENCES' then scroll down till you see

I haven't seen that, but I use a lot of add-ons, extensions and filters on my Firefox browser that blocks ads, popups, etc.. Without those, I would barely browse the web, it looks like a carnival midway on some sites...crap flashing and pulsing, disturbing click-bait images, etc..

I only use my phone for stuff when I have to. I prefer bieng at home with my 30" screen in front, flanked by twin 24"ers each side. I have a large screen phone and still feel like I'm jail when using it!
