The web browsing experience is getting more and more intrusive these days, thanks to modern pop-up ads and autoplay videos with sound that no one wants (luckily you can stop videos from autoplaying), and it remains an intruder in our browser tabs. To make things worse, almost all modern websites try to be nice by asking if you want to receive notifications from them. While I felt like I had more control over my notifications in the early days, these notification requests have become a visual nuisance that occurs every time I visit a new web page. Tired of these never-ending notification requests, I found a way to permanently block them, which inspired me to write this short guide to let you know how to block annoying notifications asking for verification.
Block Notification Access Requests in Chrome for PC and Android
1. To get started, click on the vertical three dots in the upper right corner of your Chrome browser and Settings.
2. From Settings, scroll down until you find the following. Advanced Settings it is hidden by default and can be expanded by clicking the text that says “Advanced”.
3. Click site settings which can be found under Privacy and security tab.
4. Inside Site Settings, select . Notifications.
5. In the notification settings, you can also view all the websites you have allowed notification access and the websites you have denied notification access. By default, notification setting Ask Before Sending which one do you have to change Blocked By changing the button on the page to block those annoying notification access requests.
Block Notification Access Requests in Chromium Edge
1. To disable notification access requests in the latest Chromium-based Edge, click on the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of the browser and Settings.
2. Click on the side panel. Site Permissions and find Notifications from the list of permission settings.
3. Inside Notifications, you will find the same ask before sending which one to switch Blocked just like Google Chrome (the browser is based on the Chromium project after all) and you can browse in total peace of mind without worrying about notification requests.
Block Notification Access Requests in Firefox for PC
1. Click on the hamburger menu in the upper right corner of the Firefox browser and Options.
2. From the side panel Privacy and Security, and scroll down until you find Notifications under permissions tab.
3. Settings button It’s located to the right of Notifications to manage the list of web pages you’ve allowed or blocked notification access to.
You will see a checkbox that says 4. Block new requests to allow notifications. It won’t be marked by default, which is why you’re getting all these notification requests. Keep the setting checked and click Save Changes to confirm the changes and you’re done.
This is how you get rid of annoying notification permission requests in your browser. Let us know if you found this helpful in the comments.
