Stopping Notification requests

 Article for: Everyone 

	Difficulty: Easy 

	Importance: Not really. Just removes an annoyance

Many websites nag us to let them send us notifications whenever they imagine they might have something we might want displayed. We call these Push notifications because they push their notifications into our computers. You can allow or disallow these one at a time if you like, but if you want to stop all sites from even asking, here's how.

For Firefox and Cliqz

The main menu will appear. Click on Options.
In Options, click on Privacy & security on the left.
On the right, go to Permissions. Permissions is two-thirds of the way down the section.
Click on the Settings button next to Notifications.
Check the Block new requestsâ€¦"

If you want notifications from some sites, you'll want to allow those before turning off future requests.

For Chrome and Brave

From the Menu, choose: Settings
Then scroll down to the bottom and click Advanced
In the Privacy and Security section choose Content Settings

Within Content settings click Notifications
Toggle it OFF

Vivaldi

Copy and paste this command into the address bar:

chrome://settings/content/notifications?search=notification

and turn it off.
