  1. Open Chrome and click on the three dots in the upper-right corner. Then, select Settings.

    Opening the Settings page in Google Chrome.
  2. Select Privacy and security on the left, and then click Site Settings.

    Opening up the privacy and security options in settings in Google Chrome.
  3. Scroll down to Permissions and select Notifications.

    Opening up the Chome notifications center within the settings of Google Chrome.
  4. Now you have a few options to disable or adjust Chrome notifications. First, choose whether or not sites can ask you for permission to show you notifications. Many sites ask you this as soon as you land on them, by serving you a little pop-up that looks like this:

  5. To prevent all permission requests like this, switch the blue toggle to the off position under Sites can ask to send notifications. That will prevent any new sites from sending you annoying permission pop-ups and distracting notifications.

    Blocking sites from sending permission requests for notifications in Google Chrome.
  6. But what about sites that are already allowed to send you notifications? Your Chrome notifications center also shows your Block list and Allow list.

  7. To disable Chrome notifications from a particular site, go to your Allow list, click on the three dots to the right of the site’s name, and select Block.
