Are push notifications legitimate

The wide range of legitimate websites uses push notifications as the method to notify their customers of new arrivals or publications. Let’s suppose you are the customer of some online store selling mobile gadgets, or home appliances, or any other product whatsoever. The store may provide you with the option to enable its push notifications to be informed about new items in stock, which is a very useful feature. Or you may simply be the fan of some blog related to fishing, hunting or other hobbies, so its push notifications may be helpful to be timely informed about new publications.
