When will Checker Plus for Google Calendar push notifications work in Edge?
Per the FAQ, push notifications only work in Chrome and Vivaldi browsers. I am wondering when (if ever) push notifications will work in Edge?
Chrome extensions you can't live without!

I just googled around and unfortunately I don't see any results for a plan yet for them to support them.
Note that I have increased the polling frequency of the calendar extension for all browsers as a backup.
Do you have technical details on what the specific API is? I want to submit a feature request to MS to support it. Everything I read points to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API which shows it works in Chrome and Edge.
This is the API that works for Chrome and Vivaldi https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/gcm/
Thanks. Have you (will you) consider updating your code to use service worker push messaging as a replacement for chrome.gcm which works in both Edge and Chrome? Especially since long term Google plans to retire chrome.gcm in favor of service worker push messaging?
https://web-push-book.gauntface.com/introduction/ has details.

There's currently no workaround because with mv3 the extension background pages unload from memory and stop listening - tried them in the past. Only a native api listener will awaken the extension - such as the chrome.gcm. I also contacted the Chrome team years ago and technically gcm is replaced by fcm, but chrome.gcm will continue working, it just should have been renamed to chrome.fcm.
Ha. I see a Jason commenting on the bug. I assume that is you?
And got it. Thanks!
