Maximum display time for the chrome desktop notifications not available

Reported by herrlar...@gmail.com, Dec 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Allow youtube to post desktop notifications
2. Get notifications
3. They will never go away unless clicked..

What is the expected behavior?
I would rather see the notifications being displayed for Xdisplay seconds, and then fading until gone for Xfade seconds.
If a "Slide right to exit" could be implemented, that would be awesome for all users who are also on a Mac (or have come from the dark side recently)
Maybe a Chrome Notifications centre would be useful in you having Desktop Notifications as well, which might be embedded in the System Tray as well as the browser. This way you could let the notifications automatically go away while also making sure the user would see the notification..

What went wrong?
Notifications are currently stuck to the screen until the exit is clicked - They should only be displayed for X seconds and then go away.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94  Channel: stable

Hi!

Thank you for the bug report. We support showing two kinds of notifications: ones that automatically disappear after ~25 seconds (the vast majority), and ones that remain on screen indefinitely. Those were intended for immediate things like calendar alerts, but YouTube has adopted them for channel updates that you explicitly signed up for as well.

To your point of supporting a notification center on desktop: we actually used to, but found that user interaction with them was incredibly limited and they often led to confusion because most platforms have their own notification centers as well. Hence we removed support for them in Chrome 42, about two years ago.

Instead, we've been focusing on bringing support for native notifications to various platforms. We launched this for Mac OS X in Chrome 59, support for Linux is launching in Chrome 64 and support for Windows 10 is in the works.

It's not quite ready for testing yet, but with a bit of luck it'll be available experimentally in Chrome 65 :).

Let me mark this as WontFix based on the above.
