I hope they integrate with the native Notification Center on OS X and the "Action Center" on Windows 10. This would make it more consistent with how Chrome works with the native notification lists in Android and iOS.
I’ve chosen to not use Chrome as my primary browser for several reasons, one of which is because it disregards native OS notifications in favor of its own, often to detrimental effect. On OS X, they’re an eyesore — they're unnecessarily large and visually incongruent with the rest of the OS, and they sit beneath native notifications rendering them useless if Chrome isn’t the only application firing off notifications.
Per-application custom notifications made sense when there was no standardized system to use, but these days they’re entirely unnecessary.
OSX Notification Center: where notifications go to die. Hope you were at your computer when the toast message appears otherwise you'll never know there was a notification unless you obsessively open the sidebar to check.
Any more details on that? I wonder what's the reason? It's a better experience for me to have every app take advantage of a single notification center.

And I hope they ditch their odd-feeling custom notifications and use native (at least on OS X) notifications instead.

OS X does show the notifications on the lockscreen by default though, right? Usually when I come back to my computer I see all of the stuff I missed.
I suppose there's a short time between when you walk away and the computer locking the screen though, where the notification could be missed.
However, I feel like I've missed way more Chrome notifications because I hardly ever open the notifications menu.
Google announced that it has no plans to integrate into Windows 10 Action Center.
