Would the browser icon also show a badge for "badged tabs"?

[CombeeMike]

What I'm looking for (as a user) is the following:

As long as at least 1 open tab in my browser has a badge set, I'd like the browser icon in my toolbar to also show some badge/highlighting which signals that there are unread messages (etc.) even if I have the browser in the background.

In other words: Would app badges only effect PWAs or also "normal" websites + the browser they run in?

Disclaimer: I no longer work on specifications, so these views are entirely my own.

I think this is probably for individual implementors to decide. As a general rule, these specs try and avoid telling browser vendors what to do.

If you're interested in getting this feature I'd recommend filing a bug for different vendors at https://crbug.com/new (for Chromium) and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi (for Firefox).

I agree. This is left to the user agent. Closing.
