As we browse more and more websites offer the visitor to activate notifications, in order to be warned, with a pop-up pop-up, every time a new article is published or there are updates of the proposed contents (including offers or new news).These notifications can be useful if we want to always be updated on the news or on the topics covered, but they can become very annoying if they come from sites we do not care to be warned of for each new content.
To avoid being warned every time, in this guide we will show you how disable all notifications (and requests to send notifications) on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge browsers. We will also show you how manage these notifications, both on PC / Mac and on mobile devices (Android and iOS / iPadOS), so as to allow only those coming from some trusted sites.

How to disable notifications in Google Chrome

By deactivating this item, we will no longer receive any request for notification from the sites; if, on the other hand, we wanted to manage the sites that allow you to view notifications individually, just click on the site that already displays the notifications (or that we had blocked in the past) on this page and change the setting Notifications, so you can choose a different option than our last choice.
On Google Chrome for Android or iOS / iPadOS we can disable the requests for notifications by opening the app, pressing the icon at the top right with the three dots, selecting Settings and pressing on the menu Site settings.
From this menu we can disable all notifications by removing the check mark from the Notifications item or individually manage the sending of notifications from sites on which we have already expressed a preference in the past (divided into Blocked and Allowed, so that we can immediately retrieve the site from modify).

Conclusions
Website notifications are very useful for visiting social media and news services in real time without having apps installed on your phone (especially if we have a slow or very old smartphone). However, if we have allowed too many sites, after some time the frustration will prevent us from using our mobile device correctly, so we have shown you all the steps to take to disable requests for notifications from the most used browser sites on PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet.To manage notifications on Android in a more advanced way, we recommend that you read our guides Manage Gmail notifications on Android to receive only the important ones e All Android notifications visible on the PC in real time.
If, on the other hand, we are sports enthusiasts and we always want to be notified of the results in our favorite team or our favorite athlete, we recommend that you read the guide to App to receive sports news via notification on Android and iPhone.
