Chrome: Block notifications, Auto-Delete your Data
(you can now filter previous editions by application!)
Block (annoying) Notifications on Chrome
If you find yourself constantly receiving pop-ups like this and having to click “Block” every time, here’s an easy fix!
- Input “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in your Chrome address bar and press <Enter>
- Select the “Use quieter messaging” option (Chrome saves your preference automatically)
- Note: You can use the more extreme “Don’t allow sites to send notifications” BUT this might affect video conferencing platforms (e.g. Google Meet, Zoom)
If you disabled or blocked a notification by mistake, no worries, you can simply click on the Lock icon to enable them on a specific website
