Google Chrome is a free web browser available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. Chrome is also one of the most popular web browsers Due to its Google integration, wide range of extensions, ease of use, and other features. Furthermore, it is capable of displaying notifications from a variety of websites. You’ll often get pop-up notifications while browsing through websites asking for your permission to send notifications. We have put together a step-by-step guide for how to disable this pop-up asking for notification permission each time you visit a site.
Google Chrome has pretty much the same functions on different desktop platforms, and so disabling notifications from websites on Windows, Mac, and Linux have the same steps. They are, however, slightly different for the mobile version of Chrome and further vary for Android and iOS.
