Is there a page where you can test push notifications without writing a ton of code? A simple page that implemented push notifications so I can test if my browser supports it. I switched from Brave to Helium. I was testing the PushForge library. But it doesn't work. I don't know if this is an issue with my browser (Helium).

The exact page that you linked - PushForge’s home page - has a playground on their home page to allow testing notifications!
It looks like Helium doesn't support push notifications because it requires an API Gateway. In the case of Google Chrome, it's Firebase.

check the browser console, if its a permission issue it will tell you there also just try the mdn demo page they have a simple push example that works without any library, good for checking basic support
PushForge already has a playground on its homepage. Try that first, then check the console for permission or service worker errors. If it works in another browser but not Helium, it’s probably a browser support issue.
