I've waited for ages to finally have native notifications from Chrome, and now they're horrible because of the hyperlinks not being treated well.

I agree. They are very hard to read that way. :-(

Someone discussed about this issue on the Chromium bugs list, and thinking that it might be a Chromium issue, I raised the problem again.

It appears to be an issue with the daemon itself.

Here's the thread: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=676220#c103

I confirm this observation. I never saw this issue in Ubuntu main edition that uses the GNOME daemon.

Support for this feature was added in version 0.4.2, but the URL parser still needs some improvement (work in progress).
