HOW TO BLOCK CHROME NOTIFICATIONS

If you are seeing pop-outs on the bottom right side of your computer screen, these are coming from Chrome ‘notifications.’  These pop-outs are distracting and very annoying, and they can be blocked in Chrome settings.

 

How to block Chrome notifications:

  1. Click the 3-dots at the top right of an open Chrome browser window.
  2. Click on SETTINGS from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click on PRIVACY AND SECURITY (on left)
  4. Click on SITE SETTINGS (on right)
  5. Scroll down and click on NOTIFICATIONS.
  6. Scroll down to the ALLOW list.
  7. Click on the 3-dots to the right of each allowed notification and click on BLOCK ITEM

 

Voila, those annoying pop-outs are gone!

 

How to prevent pop-out notifications:

In the future, if a website invites you to allow their notifications, think first and click BLOCK.

 

Enjoy your computer and be well.
