Block Notifications from Chrome

If you are getting unwanted pop-ups at the bottom right corner of your computer, (by the date & time), it might be due to some Google Chrome notification settings.  Give this a try.

Tip: Chrome logo looks like this: 

Option 1: Block All Notification Requests (Recommended)

This stops websites from asking altogether.

1. Open Chrome

2. Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right

3. Go to Settings

4. Click Privacy and security

5. Click Site settings

6. Click Notifications

7. Select Don’t allow sites to send notifications

✅ Best option if notifications are a nuisance or security concern.

Option 2: Remove or Block Specific Websites

Use this if one site keeps popping up.

1. Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Notifications

2. Under Allowed, find the website

3. Click the three dots beside it

4. Choose Remove or Block

Option 3: Block From a Pop-Up (Quick Fix)

If a site asks to send notifications:

• Click Block
  Never click Allow unless you fully trust the site.

How to prevent these notifications from coming up in the first place.

If you don't want these to show up in the first place, be aware of "Show notifications" prompts while browsing the Internet.  If you get these, in most cases either just click on "Block" if you never want this message again from this site, or close the little window with the X.  If you click "Allow" you will get those pop-ups.  Note: Sometimes you will want notifications from sites (such as for email notifications even when not specifically on your webmail site) -  but just beware of what ones you allow.
