1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,245 A website's alerts can be distracting without every Chrome notification being a problem. 2 00:00:05,245 --> 00:00:09,302 In this guide, we will identify the sender and block notification 3 00:00:09,302 --> 00:00:11,147 permission for that one site. 4 00:00:11,147 --> 00:00:13,729 Keep other sites on their current setting. 5 00:00:13,729 --> 00:00:17,787 First, make sure the message is truly a browser notification; an 6 00:00:17,787 --> 00:00:22,214 advertisement or pop-up inside a page uses a different Chrome control. 7 00:00:22,814 --> 00:00:26,874 Look at an unwanted alert and write down the website name 8 00:00:26,874 --> 00:00:28,351 shown as its source. 9 00:00:28,351 --> 00:00:32,411 If you cannot tell whether the message came from Chrome, inspect 10 00:00:32,411 --> 00:00:35,364 the notification or visit the site you suspect. 11 00:00:35,364 --> 00:00:39,794 The fictional worksheet uses news.example.com only to practice the decision. 12 00:00:39,794 --> 00:00:43,854 Do not block a similarly named service just because its icon 13 00:00:43,854 --> 00:00:45,331 or headline looks familiar. 14 00:00:45,931 --> 00:00:50,902 In desktop Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and security, Site settings, and Notifications. 15 00:00:50,902 --> 00:00:56,638 Google's help lists this as the place to review notification settings and block sites. 16 00:00:56,638 --> 00:00:58,933 Locate the specific website's entry. 17 00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:03,522 If the site is open in a tab, its site-information control 18 00:01:03,522 --> 00:01:05,816 can also lead to site permissions. 19 00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:09,258 Use the route that your current Chrome version exposes. 20 00:01:09,858 --> 00:01:14,401 Find the named site in the allowed list or its site-specific 21 00:01:14,401 --> 00:01:16,672 settings, and set Notifications to Block. 22 00:01:16,672 --> 00:01:19,322 Read the website address again before saving. 23 00:01:19,322 --> 00:01:24,244 Do not switch the global default if your goal is only one website. 24 00:01:24,244 --> 00:01:28,029 Chrome can also automatically restrict some abusive or unused site 25 00:01:28,029 --> 00:01:32,194 permissions, but this exercise checks the chosen site's explicit state 26 00:01:32,194 --> 00:01:34,465 instead of relying on automatic behavior. 27 00:01:35,065 --> 00:01:39,248 Return to Chrome's Notifications settings and confirm that the selected 28 00:01:39,248 --> 00:01:42,670 site now shows Block or appears under blocked sites. 29 00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:47,233 Visit the website again and check its site-information menu if needed. 30 00:01:47,233 --> 00:01:51,036 The settings state is the immediate verification; waiting for the 31 00:01:51,036 --> 00:01:54,458 absence of a random future alert is weaker evidence. 32 00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:57,881 Other allowed sites should retain their separate permission entries. 33 00:01:58,481 --> 00:02:02,558 If messages still appear inside the web page, they may be 34 00:02:02,558 --> 00:02:05,523 pop-ups or ads rather than Chrome notifications. 35 00:02:05,523 --> 00:02:08,488 Google documents pop-up and redirect controls separately. 36 00:02:08,488 --> 00:02:12,565 If alerts come from an installed app, check that app or 37 00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:14,048 the operating system instead. 38 00:02:14,048 --> 00:02:18,125 Do not keep flipping the notification permission when the symptom comes 39 00:02:18,125 --> 00:02:20,720 from another source; identify the surface first. 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,252 Write down the blocked website in the provided checklist so you 41 00:02:25,252 --> 00:02:29,183 can reverse the choice later if you miss a useful alert. 42 00:02:29,183 --> 00:02:33,830 Chrome's site settings let you revisit the entry and allow notifications again. 43 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:37,762 The immediate answer check is simple: one named website shows Block, 44 00:02:37,762 --> 00:02:41,693 the global default was not changed for this exercise, and no 45 00:02:41,693 --> 00:02:43,838 unrelated site's permission was edited.
