Disable Push Notifications: Push notifications are always a good way for website owners to build relationships with visitors by quickly notifying them of new content. Now, if you subscribed to keep push notifications up to date with new site content, there is no problem.
However, if you subscribed in error or if you no longer wish to receive push notifications from one of these websites, this article is your guide to deactivating them.
The process is different with each browser, so let’s take them all one at a time.
1. Microsoft Edge
- Launch the Microsoft Edge browser and click the Menu button.
- Click Settings from the drop-down menu. In the Settings menu, scroll down to the bottom and click on Show advanced settings.
- Click Manage under Website Permissions. From there, you can turn off websites for which you don’t want to receive notifications.
2. Firefox
- Open the Firefox browser and click on the menu option (three lines in the upper right corner of the screen).
- Select Options from the drop-down menu and click Content in the left column.
- Now click on the Choose button next to Notifications.
