Fennec on graphene wants me to install unified push. Should I? (lemmy.world)

Like the title says. Stated getting this notification every time I open fennec.

The push service application is no longer available. It may have been uninstalled. Please re-inable UnifiedPush.

Is this something I should do or is there a way to turn this off?

It's likely a bug: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/work_items?show=eyJpaWQiOiIxNzYiLCJmdWxsX3BhdGgiOiJyZWxhbi9mZW5uZWNidWlsZCIsImlkIjoxODY5NDI0MzF9

Personally, I'm waiting to see what the devs say, but if it gets on your nerves, you can hide the notification in the Android settings.
I'm just not sure, if it is maybe needed again at a later point, which is why I'm holding off.

It does seem like a bug. I actually have a UnifiedPush distributor but have never configured Fennec to use it (I didn't even know it was an option) but now Fennec shows me this warning and there is no way to actually enable it in settings anymore.

Yeah, same. As they discuss in that issue I linked, it seems like in this partocular scenario, it gets stuck thinking it should remove a UnifiedPush distributor, but there is none to remove, so it keeps trying again and again, each time sending the same notification. But yeah, just my high-level understanding of the initial analysis...
