I'm trying to make an extension that'll get the user's attention when they are outside of the browser, I saw here was window.getAttention() that'll (depending on the OS) get the user's attention, like on windows it'll flash the browser's icon on the taskbar, but on both chrome and firefox it no longer works. Even according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/getAttention it's no longer compatible with any browser, so is there an alternative I can use that will still try to get the attention when needed

    You probably won't find much; most of the attention grabbing features in browsers have been disabled or significantly toned down because of how they were abused by advertisers and other generally shady people who liked to do annoying things with them. – Herohtar Aug 25 '19 at 04:28
  • @Herohtar Yeah, as I was typing this I figured they were disabled because of abuse... that's a shame – cooltop101 Aug 25 '19 at 04:53
