I dislike the desktop implementation of push permission request in macOS Safari

It presents a modal popup asking for permission. A few times I have accidentally clicked "Allow" only to have to hunt through my notification settings for the offending website to remove it

Web sites should not be allowed to present modal, native UI that can interrupt the browser. They should be contained to their window

A better implementation would be to allow the browser to show a bell or other icon in the main UI indicating the website offers push notifications. Clicking on that would inform and allow the user to opt-in
