Safari does not ask notification preferences.

I'm using macOS Catalina (10.15) and I had logged in iCloud.

Safari > Preferences > Website > Notifications - is empty (This is important.)
System Preferences > Notifications > Safari - is enabled to receive notifications (badge, sound, banner)
I did not install any kind of extensions for Safari.
9to5Mac, MacRumors, YouTube and etc. all of websites which I had known and asked notification previously don't ask notification preferences anymore.
I cleared all history in Safari.

I think this is clearly Safari's problem. Is there a way to solve this problem immediately?

Please read this carefully and please answer correctly.

I went to MacRumors and on their Front Page, found an option to subscribe to push notifications as shown in the screen shot below. Have you checked the web sites for a similar subscribe option?

Facebook Support Center described "How do I turn on Facebook push notifications through Google Chrome or Firefox?"

Okay, It looks Facebook does not support the feature for Safari.

Thank you for trying to find the solution.

I guess the only way is trying to send a feature suggestion to Facebook and YouTube constantly :))))

You are welcome. I didn't do a lot of checking on Facebook, but try clicking the bell in the menu bar, and from the dropdown, choose Settings.

If you go to Safari > Preferences > Website > Notifications, is Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications checked?

Oh, It works on MacRumors. Thank you.

Then, this means Facebook and YouTube doesn't support enabling push notification for Safari.

Thank you for replying to my threads, you are the best.
