How to Enable or Disable Notifications in Edge Android Settings?

The website notification was intended to send important alerts to the user in real-time. In this way, they will not miss any notifications anytime.

However, edge notifications can be annoying these days when the website tries to send promotional offers very frequently. I hate notifications from any site or even the apps that aren’t relevant. Hence, I have disabled the email notifications on my android phone.

While Microsoft Edge does support push notifications like chrome browsers, this feature is being misused by marketers in a way that users are always bombarded by edge notifications. It goes to such an extent that I even receive edge notifications at 2 am which is rather annoying.
