in both IE and Edge on Windows 10 1903.Note
Should we add comments to some permissions that are accessible via other APIs? Edge supports
Notification.permission
, which exposes equivalent ofPermissionStatus.state
, but only for notifications. Also, Edge supposedly supportsPushManager.permissionState
