Description Jason Straight 2023-12-10 00:10:59 UTC
I wonder if this would be the application to hand such a thing?

When you have several browser windows and tabs open and some of them are messaging, calendar, e-mail, etc., unless you go checking them every few seconds, you have no good way to know if you have messages that require attention.

Plasma's notifications are hard to filter through, and don't cut it.

My thought is that if browser integration could create a system tray icon and show a message count there, or at least an unread indicator badge, since I know every site isn't exactly the same with its title updates, then I could use my browser for those types of pages much more efficiently.

Maybe you could configure which domains, tabs, or only have pinned tabs monitored, etc.

I know apps like Ferdium exist, but I really miss my browser extensions when I use a messaging app.

I can use PWA's, but that's an even worse issue of having to check more windows for waiting messages.

That's the thing we should fix, then. Adding a secong source of notifications that only come from the browser window would be super confusing and make things harder, not easier.

Let's focus on that. Can you explain the problems you're having with Plasma's standard notifications and the Notifications widget?
