I can't wait to test this feature when it's functional - here's hoping it'll come soon rather than later.Google’s latest browser release has shaken up how Chrome Push Notifications will work in the future. The new notification system is not functional in the Canary channel, which is a reminder that it's still very early in development. It makes my notification tray way easier to manage while keeping it tidy. Notification grouping aims to fix this by bundling the separated notifications together. I find it incredibly frustrating when trying to sort several notifications from the same app - whether downloading twenty photos from Unsplash or receiving multiple messages from a friend on Google Messages. The main highlight coming is notification grouping, and it's something several people have been waiting ages for. Fingers crossed for some Material You vibes soon - I think it'll look slick. A refreshed UI is a wonderful step in the right direction, and I'm hoping that the new design will come with usability fixes that plagued the Chrome OS notification tray. The current implementation feels half-baked and frustrating, even on my touchscreen Chromebook.

We don't see any code that explains how group notifications will work, but we imagine it'll function similar to Android.Ī revamped notification experience is something Chromebook users like myself needed yesterday. This might mean messages could use blur as implied in unified_message_center_, but we're not sure. Along with this commit, we've spotted more in-progress code that may give us a glimpse of what's coming. If you look inside message_, the code adds background blur when a notification's corners are round. 0 does nothing - unsurprising since its development just getting started. At the moment, flipping the switch in Chrome OS Canary. The developer commentary mentions a brand-new notification experience in the works, complete with grouping and a new UI. A completely revamped notification experience begins development.
