Hello everybody!
In today’s video, I’ll tell you about the pop-up windows that people are facing
more and more often these days; these windows usually ask for your permission to show messages
with news from the current web resource or to access your location.
I’ll show you how to disable such push-notifications in browsers like Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla
Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Yandex Browser, and
how
to block them for good, or allow them for certain websites only.
Nowadays Internet browsers let websites show special push notifications.
You can see this kind of pop-up windows in all kinds of web resources; they usually ask
you for permission to show notifications with the website news on your desktop, access your
location or other data.
Originally meant for user’s convenience, but to many notifications for which you might
have carelessly subscribed can become a real nuisance.
Fortunately, modern browsers let you manage such subscriptions and even block them forever.
Disabling push notifications in Google Chrome In Chrome, you can disable this function by
going to the menu by clicking the button with three dots on it; select Settings and scroll
down to Advanced.
In the section Privacy and security go to Content settings.
Here choose Notifications and drag the slider next to Ask before sending (recommended) so
that it changes to Blocked position.
In this condition, Google Chrome will block all new requests for showing notifications.
However, the websites where you allowed pop-up notifications will be able to send them anyway.
In the Allow section, you’ll see all the websites for which you allowed push notifications.
By clicking on Add, you can enter other websites to this white list if necessary.
In the Block section, you can add domains to be blocked by default - and it doesn’t
matter if the function is enabled or not.
Disabling push notifications in Mozilla Firefox In Mozilla Firefox, the function of blocking
push notifications is available since version 59.
Open the menu (the button with three lines in the top right corner of the screen) and
then go to Options.
Select Privacy & Security.
Find the section Permissions and click on Settings next to Notifications.
You can also “Pause notifications until Firefox restarts” to temporarily block the
push notifications.
The Settings page contains the list of trusted websites which you allowed to show notifications,
and also all websites you have blocked.
To disable receiving notifications from new websites, check the box next to “Block new
requests asking to allow notifications, and don’t forget to click on “Save changes.”
Other websites with the “Allow” status will be able to show notifications as before.
To stop notifications, click on the arrow and choose “Block” or highlight it and
click on “Remove website” if you checked the box here.
Otherwise, click on “Remove all websites” if you don’t want to receive any notifications
from them.
Disabling push notifications in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge doesn’t have settings for push notifications.
All you can do when you see one is to click No.
The browser will remember your choice for this website and will never show it when you
visit the website again, but other websites will keep on showing their notifications.
Disabling push notifications in Opera To disable push notifications in Opera browser,
go to the menu by clicking on the “Customize and control Opera” button in the top left
corner of the window.
Then go to Settings, or just press the key shortcut Alt + P.
Now choose Websites, find the section “Notifications” and check the box next to “Don’t allow
any site to show desktop notifications” and it will disable all requests.
Clicking on “Manage exceptions...” you will see the list of all websites allowed
to show notifications, and next to each of them there will be buttons to block or allow
notifications.
Disabling push notifications in Yandex.
Browser And finally, Yandex Browser.
Open the menu by clicking on the button with the three lines on it in the upper right corner
of the window, go to Settings, and at the very bottom of the page, click Show advanced
settings.
In the Personal data section, select Content settings.
In the section “Notifications,” choose not to show notifications on sites to block
websites from showing requests.
By opening the Manage exceptions window which is available here as well as in other browsers,
you can remove the websites allowed to show notifications or block them, or add them to
exceptions.
After all the changes you have made, don’t forget to click here to save changes and restart
the browser.
That is all for now.
