    Or just get Firefox or one of its branches that allows you to block all requests from websites to send you notifications. You only need to do it once and never have to worry about it again.

      That’s not a Firefox exclusive feature, Chromium browsers have also had this for years.

      The people this new option benefits most aren’t the type to go into settings to look for the option you’re talking about.
