Disable macOS notification?

[luckman212]

Hi,

Very nice extension! Is there any way to disable this notification?

Hello @luckman212,

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for this late answer, I had, and still have mixed feelings about your request.

Is there any way to disable this notification?

So far, no. And rather than adding some code bloat, I would rather get rid of it altogether than provide yet another option to tweak such a minor feature. Do you feel like making a case on why this should go?

The notification should only appear when tabs are copied to clipboard which, at least I guess, should not happen that often. I am not aware of how macOS handles such notifications and I am always curious to learn about people's workflow with this add-on, so I would be glad if you could provide some info.

Haven't used this on macOS myself, but I remember clearly disliking notifications on macOS as well. App-by-app they can be turned off there, but I think turning them off for a single extension might not be possible

My current setup is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and awesome wm

I just tested to confirm my remembering that the popup steals focus and makes the pasting process more cumbersome and annoying, when, turns out: The notification has changed. It is now white (as opposed to conforming to the dark tones I'm accustomed to), and doesn't have a timer. I have to click the x in the corner to close it

Strike that: 20 second timer.

20. Seconds. With a white box remaining for a second or so after the popup is gone.

(UX rule of thumb: <0.1 second is perceived as instantaneous, <1 second: "I didn't have to wait", >=10 seconds: "I've lost interest, off to do something else")

I don't know whether this is ETU (which hasn't been changed in quite a while now), Firefox (which /was/ updated just yesterday or even today), awesome wm or Ubuntu, but no matter what: Bad UX

Regardless of the above:

A substantial portion of us dislike notifications. I'm sure you, dear reader, are bothered by things that you know other people are not bothered by. Even if you're not bothered by notifications

You've probably experienced the UNIXy behaviour "Don't tell 'em if you performed the operation successfully. Tell 'em when something went wrong"
