Disable web push notifications on Firefox
Step 1: Type about:config
in the address bar and hit enter.
Step 2: Click on I accept the risk
and proceed to the config page.
Step 3: Type webnotifications
in the search bar.
Step 4: Double-click on the dom.webnotifications.enabled
name to change its value to false
.
This disables the web notifications for all the sites. But if you still need to retain the notifications when any sites are opened in the tab, you can set dom.webnotifications.serviceworker.enabled
to false instead of Step 4. Note that sites will still bug you with the notification prompt.
Disable web push notifications on Chrome
Step 1: In the address bar, type chrome://settings/content/notifications
and hit enter.
Step 2: Toggle the Ask before sending
option to Blocked
.
However, it is still quite useful to leave the notifications turned on for email services. If that’s the case, perhaps Firefox will come in handy as it allows you to disable the notification service workers for the sites — which allows websites to send push notifications only when they are opened or pinned in a tab.
May peace be with you! Happy browsing!
