How to Turn Off Chrome Push Notifications on Your PC

How to Turn Off Chrome Push Notifications on Your PC
Wondering how to disable the push notifications on your Google Chrome PC browser? If yes, then you have come to the right place. The Chrome push notifications are one of the most frustrating features you may have ever seen in your life. The push notifications are not a bad feature on its own because the purpose of the push notifications is to keep you updated. It helps you to keep up with news and websites you have subscribed to. But it becomes irritating when you get too much of it. Whatsoever, you can easily disable them and re-enable them later when required. Let’s get started.
Chrome Notifications: How Does it Work?
Chrome notifies its users when there is a new post added to a website. Mostly you only get notified by Chrome when a website adds some new posts or articles to it. You will only receive notifications of the sites which you have visited. Sometimes you may also get suggestions from the websites that are not a part of your browsing history, but it is not that common. Whenever sites try to send notifications to you, Chrome allows them, but you can disable it. 
Turning Off Chrome Notifications on a PC
Chrome is one of the leading web browsers for Windows, and it offers excellent features in the PC version. As being a popular product of Google, it is far much better than any other third-party browsers. The process is the same in Linux and Windows. Here’s how to disable Chrome notifications on your PC:
  1. Go to the Google Chrome browser on your PC.
  2. On the top-right corner, click the three dots next to your profile picture.
  3. Now select Settings from the options.
  4. Scroll downwards and then locate Advanced option.
  5. Now click on the Advanced option to browse more settings.
  6. After that, navigate to “Privacy and Security” settings. Under Privacy and Security, go to Site Settings.
  7. Now tap on the Notifications option.
  8. Toggle the switch next to “Ask before sending” option by clicking on it.
Now you can enjoy your web browsing without any discomfort caused by unwanted notifications. If you need them later on, then you can enable it by following the same instructions as mentioned above, but this time you have to turn on the Ask before sending switch. 
Turning Chrome Off on a Mac
Disabling notification on a Mac is a bit different than Windows. See the below point to turn off Chrome push notification on your Mac:
  1. Open your Chrome.
  2. Find the Bell button and then click on it. After that go to Notification Center option.
  3. Click Settings (gear like icon)
  4. There you will see a list of notification enabled websites and services. Uncheck all boxes to turn off the notifications completely on your Mac.
If you have installed any new apps or add-ons, then you have to disable their notification access by the same process as mentioned above.
How to turn off notifications on an iOS device?
If you own an iPhone or an iPad and are using Google Chrome in it, then you shouldn’t worry about any Chrome notifications. Chrome’s iOS version offers minimal features and doesn’t have the push notification function in it. So you won’t get any notifications from Chrome.
Turning Off Push Notifications on Chrome Android
If you are using Chrome browser on your Android phone and want to turn off the notifications, the process is super easy. Android devices allow you to disable push notification entirely on Chrome browser. You can also keep the notifications turned on for a selective site that you want. Here’s how to disable it:
  1. Open the Chrome browser on your Android device.
  2. Go to three dots located on the top-right corner of your Chrome browser.
  3. After that, press the Settings option.
  4. When you reach the Settings, look for Site Settings, and then click on it.
  5. Now navigate to the Notifications options.
  6. If you want to turn off all notifications, then toggle the blue-colored switch next to Notifications.
  7. If you want to turn off notifications only for selective sites, then manually select them from the list.
By doing so, you can get rid of these unwanted notifications. Some websites provide valuable content for us, and it is important to be updated with their articles and posts. So we recommend you to turn off notifications for only selective sites.
However, if you want to just stay far away from these alerts, then disable them completely.
