           Summary: Consider letting extensions receive push messages
                    through the WebPush API without receiving
                    notifications
           Product: WebKit

          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Consider letting extensions receive push messages through the WebPush API without receiving notifications. Instead of creating a new web extensions API, we could utilize WebPush to allow extensions to receive messages if we remove the requirement to display a notification on receiving a push message. This is something developers expressed a lot of interest in the Web Extensions Community Group (WECG). In order to do this, extensions would need to be able to set { userVisibleOnly: false }.

Things to consider for Safari:
- How would we push messages to an extension whose url changes on new launches of Safari?
- It's currently HTTPS only in WebKit, and we would need figure out a way this could work with web extension URLs
