Chrome Will Soon Block Notifications From Abusive And Disruptive Websites

Google is working to cut down on the number of unwanted Chrome notifications you receive by blocking notifications from websites that the company deems to be “disruptive.”

Google has already made some headway on this issue in recent years, “quieting” the notification prompt from websites that abuse notifications or ask for permission in a misleading way. When a site has been quieted in this way, Chrome also warns that the site may be trying to trick you.

Now the company is trying a stronger approach to combating notification spam. According to a new code change, Chrome will soon be able to automatically revoke a website’s permission to send notifications and block any future attempts to ask for the permission.
