Browser’s site notifications are intended to keep users updated with important updates related to sports, movies, or any other you have subscribed for.
But sometimes these notifications might seem overwhelming as not every notification contains important news, some of them can be spam or malware.
I am a blogger and spend most of my time surfing the web. When I first visit any website, it asked me to allow it to send notifications. Due to a lack of knowledge, I have enabled a few websites to send notifications to me. After some time I have realized that content is irrelevant to me and also disturbs the normal workflow as it can appear at any time. So I have decided to manage notification settings to block those websites to send notifications to me.
