Chrome notifications: how to disable & manage them
More and more websites are asking us if they can send us notifications. It can get annoying quickly. We'll tell you how to get rid of the notifications and the questions afterwards.
Surfing the net has become noticeably less annoying in recent years. Pop-up advertising – previously found on almost every page – has become quite rare. Something else has now taken its place. We're talking about website notifications.
More and more websites ask us via pop-up the first time they visit if they can send us notifications. That alone is annoying. It gets even more annoying if you accidentally click on "Allow". Then you have to deactivate the notifications again. We'll show you how to do it.
