help removing hostname from Chrome notifications

[ffigiel]

On chrome, the notification shown by visiting https://davidwalsh.name/demo/notifications-api.php and clicking "Show a Notification" has the following body:

davidwalsh.name

I am the body text!

On firefox, the notification body is simply I am the body text!

I'm not sure what's causing it and I found no useful information online. This is likely not related to dunst, but I hope to start a conversation around this problem in case there are more folks with this issue.

Looking at dbus-monitor output, it seems chrome includes a link to the website:

   string "<a href="https://davidwalsh.name/">davidwalsh.name</a>

I am the body text!"

I wonder if there's a way to post-process this notification and remove the link?

Well, since it doesn't happen on firefox, my guess is the obvious: Chrome inserts the website address at the start of the body.

There's currently no functionality to preprocess notifications and remove parts from the body.

If it's chromium (rather than chrome) you can try to find where the notifications are generated and patch that part out.
