Chrome notifications can be genuinely useful in a lot of cases – for example when Gmail notifies you that you received an important email or when a social media site announces that you have a new PM pending in your inbox. However, a whole lot of websites got into the practice of abusing browser notifications. Because a lot of websites send dozens of spammy browser notifications on a daily basis, users are looking for ways to prevent frequent notifications from interrupting their browsing experience.

Luckily, there are other ways that you can use to stop all websites from sending you notifications.
