🐞 Describe the bug
A recent bug: if background notifications are enabled on Edge, messages don't appear at all in unmuted topics. Muted topics still receive messages.

If I disable background notifications, messages work in unmuted topics and I get a system notification if web app is open.

Background notifications do work on Firefox.

💻 Components impacted
Web app

💡 Screenshots and/or logs
Server trace log attached.

ntfy.log

Web app behaves like this:

Background notifications enabled

Api.js:34 [Api] Publishing message to https://ntfy.REDACTED/REDACTED

Background notifications work again (just received about 10 at the same time) so I guess it was a Microsoft problem, not an NTFY problem. Closing.
