You have the ability to disable just browser push notifications, at least for Android. I actually find notifications useful, but they can quickly become useless if you are receiving a lot of irrelevant notifications. If you disable all notifications on Android, you wont get things like calendar reminders.
Although it can be useful for some web applications, I kind of wish that push notifications were not added to browsers. Most often they are just abused to spam users. The pop-up you get while going to pages asking you to allow push notifications is also annoying. I have started to disable notifications in all the browsers I use on mobile and desktop.
- intrasight 4y agoWeb and native apps have to ask. But we visit thousands of web sites vs use a dozen apps - so there are going to be many more irrelevant requests. Here's a question. Can you disable web sites asking while keeping the notifications that you have already allowed?
- markandrewj 4y agoI haven't looked enough to know if this is possible. In general I found that any browser push notifications I may receive have been better served from a dedicated application.
