Works OK, but this month after firefox make some updates is totally down. Doesn't work!
by Blumy, 2024-10-24

Using Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia (Kernel: 5.15.0-113-generic) on Cinnamon Desktop 6.0.4 It seems to work with Facebook Messenger in a Container Extension. Will test with this other website that does have a sound notification, but only a Push Notification at the title bar. Will check tomorrow and review.
