The web browsing experience is getting more and more intrusive these days, thanks to modern pop-up ads and autoplay videos with sound that nobody asked for (fortunately you can stop autoplaying videos) and stays as an uninvited guest in our browser tabs. To make things even worse, almost all modern websites try to act nice by asking if you would like to receive notifications from them. While I felt like I was having more control over my notifications in the early days, these notification requests have evolved to be a visual nuisance that shows up every time I visit a new web page. Being fed up of these never-ending notification requests, I found the way to block them permanently which inspired me to write this short guide to let you guys know how to block those annoying validation seeking notifications.
To get started, click on the vertical three dots found on the top right corner of your Chrome browser and choose Settings.
Inside Site Settings, choose Notifications.
To disable notification access requests in the latest Chromium-based Edge, click on the three dot menu icon in the top right corner of the browser and choose Settings.
In the side panel, click on Site Permissions and find Notifications from the list of permission settings.
Click on the hamburger menu found in the top right corner of the Firefox browser and choose Options.
From the side panel, switch to Privacy & Security, and scroll down until you find Notifications under the Permissions tab.
