How to disable push (push) notifications
How to turn off push notifications - this question worries some users who see notifications in the browser after logging into many sites on the Internet. Push technology is designed to distribute information on the Internet from the provider, in this case, the site, to the user of this site.
Push notifications for the site are needed to inform website visitors about the news, mainly about the release of new articles. In this case, the visitor receives notifications from the site in a timely manner and can immediately read the news.
Notifications on behalf of the site are sent using a third-party service that organizes the delivery of notifications to users' computers.
What is a push notification on a computer? If a site visitor agrees to receive messages from this resource, then from time to time, notifications about the news of this website appear on the user's desktop.
How push notifications work
When visiting a site that has the function of sending notifications enabled, the visitor each time sees a request to allow the display of notifications, in which it is proposed to click on the "Allow" or "Block" buttons. The names of the buttons may be different, but the meaning is the same everywhere.
The site visitor can ignore this popup because the push notification request window is small and does not interfere with browsing the site.
The appearance of such windows is different, depending on the service that sends notifications from this site.
By clicking on the "Allow" button, you agree to receive push messages on your computer.
In the notification area, on the desktop of the user's computer, notifications about news on this website will appear. Usually, this is a message about the release of a new article. Some sites abuse the ability to send alerts, notifying about everything in a row, sometimes sending unnecessary information.
After receiving a push notification, the user can go to the site to read the article, or close the notification by ignoring this message. Such notifications from sites practically do not interfere with the work on the computer, since they are displayed in the notification area and close on their own after a short period of time.
To prevent the request for permission to send alerts from this site no longer appears when you visit this website again, click on the "Block" button.
If you are already receiving push messages from a particular site, then the user can disable push notifications on their own in their browser, in which they have allowed receiving notifications on their computer.
