TL;DR
- Chrome can revoke notification permissions from inactive or abusive websites and limit heavy senders.
- Google says these protections have significantly reduced the volume of unwanted notifications and background activity.
- Android’s one-tap unsubscribe and Chrome 155’s redesigned permission prompt add more control over website notifications.
Website notifications can be useful, but it’s easy for a single “Allow” tap to turn into a steady stream of unwanted alerts. According to Google, Chrome has significantly reduced that abuse through a combination of protections that can block problematic sites and limit how many notifications they send.
Chrome can automatically revoke notification permissions from websites you haven’t recently used and remove access from sites that repeatedly trigger warnings for suspicious notifications. Even better, you can review and restore those permissions if you still want notifications from a particular site.
