Disable web notifications for Google Chrome and macOS: A guide to silencing pop-ups on Mac and Chrome browser.
Hey there! Ever found yourself bombarded with notifications from your favorite websites, even the one you love, like ours? It happens, and it can be overwhelming. If you're ready to turn off these alerts, here's a simple guide for Google Chrome and Safari.
Turning off web notifications in Google Chrome
- Open Google Chrome on your preferred device.
- Click on the three dots located in the top-right corner. This will open the main menu.
- From the menu, select Settings.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click on Advanced.
- Under Privacy and security, select Site Settings (or Content Settings).
- You'll find Notifications here, next to a bell icon.
- Choose whether to allow websites to send you notifications outright or enable a setting that asks for permission each time (recommended).
- To adjust individual websites, scroll down to the Allow section, select the three dots next to a specific website, and choose Block if you want to stop the website from sending notifications or asking again.
If you later wish to re-enable notifications for a site, visit the website and you'll likely be asked if you want to subscribe to notifications – just select Allow. Or, you can access the site's notification settings via the padlock logo next to the URL bar.
Turning off web notifications in Safari on Mac
- Open Safari on your Mac.
- Click on Safari in the top menu bar, then select Preferences.
- In the Preferences window, click on the Websites tab.
- On the left side, click on Notifications.
- Here, you can see which websites are allowed to show notifications. If you want to disable notifications for a specific site, click on the site and select Deny to stop notifications from that site.
With these steps, you'll be able to manage your web notifications in both browsers, giving you a more peaceful browsing experience. Thanks to our colleague James Peckham at Tech Radar for helping us create this guide! Keep exploring our website, fans!
