How to Stop Unwanted Website Notification Pop-Ups
Websites can send persistent notifications after permission is granted; you can review and revoke that access.
The aim is to help you complete one clear task, recognize what needs verification, and avoid the most common mistakes. Work through the checks in order, then use the real-world example to apply them to your situation.
This guide is designed as a practical decision checklist. Use the relevant official guidance alongside the steps, especially when rules depend on your country, device or individual circumstances.
1. Ignore the suspicious alert
If a notification claims your device is infected or urges an install, do not open it. A website notification is not a system diagnosis.
2. Review allowed websites
In Chrome, open Settings, Privacy and security, Site settings and Notifications. Review sites allowed to send alerts; other browsers have similar controls.
3. Remove unknown permissions
Block sites you do not recognize and choose a stricter default so websites must ask first. Do not grant permission just to read an article or download a file.
4. Check extensions if alerts continue
Review installed extensions and remove ones you do not trust. Identify whether alerts come from the browser, an app or the operating system.
