What is Web Push?

Web push (or browser push) notifications are clickable messages sent from a website directly to a user's desktop or mobile browser, even when the user isn't actively on the site, appearing as small alerts that promote engagement, sales, news, or updates after users explicitly opt-in to receive them. They function like app notifications but for the web, allowing sites to re-engage visitors without needing an email or app. - Google
