Description

### MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API

### What specific section or headline is this issue about?

A warning section ;-)

### What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Hi
When using the Push API **we use a third-party service**, a detail that is not mentioned in the documentation.
- Firefox use the [Mozilla Push server](https://mozilla-push-service.readthedocs.io/)
- Chromium/Chrome use the [Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging)
- _Apple ?_

### What did you expect to see?

I think it is important that this be mentioned in the documentation.

### Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

This demo page show clearly the used third-party service : https://simple-push-demo.vercel.app/

### Do you have anything more you want to share?

Thanks a lot for the fabulous MDN resource 💌
Regards & cheers
