Information about Push API architecture (external services used by browsers)

MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

A warning section ;-)

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Hi When using the Push API we use a third-party service, a detail that is not mentioned in the documentation.

• Firefox use the Mozilla Push server
• Chromium/Chrome use the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
• Apple ?

What did you expect to see?

I think it is important that this be mentioned in the documentation.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

This demo page show clearly the used third-party service : https://simple-push-demo.vercel.app/

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Thanks a lot for the fabulous MDN resource 💌 Regards & cheers
