Google Is Removing the Desktop Notification Center From Chrome (chromium.org)

An anonymous reader writes: Google today announced it is removing the notification center from Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The reason the company is giving for the change is simple: "In practice, few users visit the notification center." The notification center in Chrome OS will remain. Google said this change will take effect for Windows, Mac, and Linux users "in the upcoming release." To be clear, this is not in reference to yesterday's Chrome 46 launchthe notification center is still there. We thus expect that the notification center will thus be removed in Chrome 47, which is slated to arrive in about six weeks.

    How will this affect Pushbullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/)? I've come to rely on that a lot. I believe it uses Chrome notifications.
