And at least in Firefox it cannot be disabled or removed. As far as I am aware, this is installed to provide notifications for your browser, and it is optional, you get a pop up asking you if you want to enable it or not, I don't believe it is done by default. Or maybe I am wrong, I am not a web developer after all. Take care, -- Polarian Jabber/XMPP: polarian@icebound.devhome | help
