Chrome Notifications / Pop-ups

How notifications work

By default, Chrome alerts you whenever a website, app, or extension wants to send you notifications. You can change this setting at any time.

In order to disable/Block the notifications try this;

1.    On your computer, open Chrome.
2.    At the top right, click the 3 Dots menu and then Settings.
3.    Under 'Privacy and security', click Site settings.
4.    Click Notifications.
5.    Choose to block or allow notifications(If you see any rouge website I recommend Blocking it);
6.    Allow or Block all: Turn on or off Sites can ask to send notifications.
7.    Block a site: Next to 'Block', click Add. Enter the site and click Add.
8.    Allow a site: Next to 'Allow', click Add. Enter the site and click Add.
