Any reason to still check for the platform? This would exclude Firefox and
Microsoft Edge, regardless whether they implement the notifications API.

Not really but IMO that change is for when we switch to the browser API, since
`chrome` will be undefined on Edge anyway. I guess I could simply test for the
presence of chrome for now.

[Sebastian Noack, 2017/01/16 13:39:59]

Well, when we switch to the browser.* API we would use browser.notfication
instead of chrome.notifcation here of course. So I don't see any reason to check
for the existence of "chrome" either. Or is there any reason we have to exclude
Edge here regardless whether it has browser.notifcations or not?

I guess not, Done.
