While browsing, you must have come across websites that prompt you to show notifications. These notifications prompts are certainly annoying as they appear frequently, regardless of the browser you’re using. Though one can always allow or block a website from sending push notifications. However, the push notification prompt will still appear the next time you visit any other site with such an integration. That said, you won’t get notifications while you’re browsing in Incognito Mode on Chrome.

If the notification requests seriously bother you, then you can stop any websites from requesting permission to show notifications. Yes, you can do this by simply turning off a particular setting that you will find in all the modern browsers. It’s highly likely that you might not be aware of this great feature as it’s hidden deep inside the browser settings.
