Provide a desktop notification from browser when a validation or comparison is completed
It would great if browser notifications could be created/enabled to notify a user when a validation or comparison is complete when the user is off the the browser tab where the validation or compare is happening.

Please note that you will be asked if you want to Allow or Block notifications from Gearset when you have run a comparison.
If you've already clicked Block when the feature was initially released you can change this setting in your browser by going to:
For Chrome:
Settings > Advanced settings > Privacy and Security section > Content SettingsFor Edge:
Settings > Advanced settings > Manage website permissionsFor Firefox:
Options > Privacy and security > Permissions > Notifications > SettingsFor Safari:
Preferences > Websites > Notifications -
We've now shipped improvements to the notification aspects in Gearset when comparison, validations and deployments finish. These include:
- Desktop notifications
- Browser tab changes in the Gearset favicon and title when those stages finish to give a visual cue that the state has changed -

this is a great idea - visual and/or chime. Since comparisons can take several minutes, you have long since gone off to do something else and thus need reminding that the comparison is completed before you forget too much of what you were doing
