Fixing the notifications on my system does indeed stop the freeze from happening. So can confirm this only happens when there is no notification program available
Is this something you also experience in a normal web browser when notifications are not available at your system? We are doing nothing special at the moment but calling the window.Notification API to send it to the system.
@cino I haven't had a chance to retest this however the few times I tried it back when ferdium was crashing a lot the browser version seemed completely fine
Also, I recently (like yesterday) have an issue with whatsapp making up random numbers of unread notifications when none exist. Just there I had 96 with one real unread message, and when I opened it so my true unread was back to 0 the count changed to 351. This doesn't happen on a browser.
If this is unrelated I can open a new issue for it
@RoryNesbitt I'm also experiencing the random number of notifications issue. Have you opened an issue for this?

Not yet. Feel free to go ahead and link it here
I am also seeing this.
Can anyone explain what is meant by having a "notification program"? I run KDE Plasma, and other applications don't have any problem popping up notifications in my System Tray.
@ipilcher KDE is a complete desktop environment, meaning that all the 'standard' applications (e.g. sound, Bluetooth, window management, application search bar, etc) are included in the package. It is also possible to build your own desktop environment, but that means manually choosing and installing all packages that you normally take for granted including a notification system.
Hey. This issue still persists for me, it started lately, some weeks ago. When I load WhatsApp it gets stuck on the loading screen. If I switch the notification option on or off, then WhatsApp loads. After the next reload the same thing happens.
If I create a custom website with WhatsApp it works like a charm. So seems like its the WhatsApp recipe?

Expected Behavior
Receive WhatsApp message, Ferdium continues to work as usual
Actual Behavior
Receive WhatsApp message, Ferdium completely freezes with the error message:
This error stops if you turn off all notifications from WhatsApp, and if you have a notifications program available then it works as expected. It is the same error as appears here, which is how I've tracked down the cause.
Steps to reproduce
Install any version of Ferdium Don't run a notification service Set up the WhatsApp service Wait for someone to want to talk to you
