Sites show push notifications even after tab is closed

Reported by mikhail....@gmail.com, Dec 15 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set «Allow notifications» in settings.
2. Visit a site like bfm.ru or novayagazeta.ru
3. Don't explicitly agree to any notifications.
4. Start receiving notifications even after closing the tab.

What is the expected behavior?
The intuitive understanding of «Allow notifications» is allowing notifications from open tabs and explicitly installed apps.

What went wrong?
I don't see a way to disable such background, closed-tab notifications, but allow usual notifications from my open tabs.

I don't want to switch to "Ask when a site wants to show notifications", because then every news agency website experience will start with an annoying popup.

Did this work before? No

The push notification system is explicitly designed for showing notifications when tabs *aren't* open, so you don't have to keep open tabs for every chat/news/etc. site you want to monitor.

You could set the default to *block* push notifications, and then whitelist sites you want them from.

(FWIW, I also find it rude when sites request the notification permission without any UI interaction.)
