Modify Notification Settings- Google Chrome

Adjusting or completely disabling Chrome notifications is essentially the same on Windows 10 and Mac computers.

  1. Open Chrome and click on the three dots in the upper-right corner. Then, select Settings.

  2. Select Privacy and security on the left, and then click Site Settings.

  3. Scroll down to Permissions and select Notifications.

  4. Now you have a few options to disable or adjust Chrome notifications. First, choose whether or not sites can ask you for permission to show you notifications. Many sites ask you this as soon as you land on them, by serving you a little pop-up.

  5. To prevent all permission requests like this, switch the blue toggle to the off position under Sites can ask to send notifications. That will prevent any new sites from sending you annoying permission pop-ups and distracting notifications.

  6. But what about sites that are already allowed to send you notifications? Your Chrome notifications center also shows your Block list and Allow list.

  7. To disable Chrome notifications from a particular site, go to your Allow list, click on the three dots to the right of the site’s name, and select Block.

  8. Alternatively, if you’d like to allow a site that’s currently on your Block list to be able to serve you notifications again, go to the Block list and click on Add.

  9. Then, type in the site’s address and click Add.

It’s worth spending a few minutes removing sites from your Allow list, especially if you no longer want the notifications. 

Once you’ve purged your Allow list and have blocked any new websites from being able to ask your permission to send notifications, you’ve effectively stopped unwanted website notifications on your computer.
