When you opt in to receive notifications on the browser of your desktop device, anyone using or viewing your screen will see the notifications in the top right corner of the screen. For this reason, we recommend that you don’t turn on notifications on a public or shared computer. For example, if you're using a computer or tablet at a café or library, we recommend that you do not turn on notifications for that device. 

Think carefully about whether you're comfortable to have browser notifications appearing on your work or home computer in context of who has visibility of your screen.
