That's a bit orthogonal. Notifications are possible w/o Push, and browser choice is A Thing (outside iOS, at least).
Brock is right. The URL is for servers to route messages to the push provider, which then does last-mile over the consolidated socket.

Agreed with that, but I don't think servers have to "register" at all, do they? They just get, for each user who wants push notifications, a URL/token for that user, and to send a push notification they send standard JSON to that URL. No registration required.

If I'm not mistaken what Alex has just shown me is that alternatively you can have the user grant notification permission to the worker thread and the worker thread can poll any backend. This eliminates the need for project registration but you have to BYOB (backend).
