Since I updated to Safari 16.0 the Notification Center no longer works. Alerts pop up but when I click on them the alert vanishes and Safari doesn't open the link. I see one other person having this same problem in the Support forums and they can't get it resolved either. I called Support spoke with them over an hour and they couldn't resolve it either.
Got a tip for us?

, select Safari on the left, then change the Safari alert style and other settings on the right.![287be8ecdb2806cac35b021ecf0c0cf1.png]()
- Stop seeing requests for permission to send you notifications in Safari: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Websites, then click Notifications. Deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications.”
- From now on, when you visit a website that wants to send you notifications, you aren’t asked."

I hope they release that for Monterey and not keep it for Ventura, because my mid-2015 MacBook Pro won't be able to run it.
The beta version of Safari 16.1 is available for Monterey

Once again, Push Notifications isn't working ever since I installed Safari 16.2. Can someone provide a link to the latest Safari 16.3+ beta, provided it fixes the situation?
I don't know if it fixes anything, but here it is: Safari 16.3 (17614.4.1.1.2)
Code:

At least, not yet. Are Macrumors Push Notifications working for you guys? They worked for me until I updated to Monterey 12.6.2. After that, no more.
Try to “Turn on a Focus” (Do Not Disturb), then turn it off. It might re-enable notifications.
