"Allow Notifications" disabled (I hope)

[Frank Hagan]

I have attempted to disable the pop up that asks you to "allow notifications" when visiting the site. It is done via a script as the software does not allow disabling it because the software developers are evil (well, "irritating" might be a better word). 

 

Let me know if you still see the incessant "Allow messing-about to send you notifications" messages.

I've never seen this or maybe I did some time ago, but managed to turn it off.

It is the kind of thing that you can turn off when it pops up. Many people just close the notification without choosing to either accept or block them, and it pops up on every page refresh.

 

I was reminded how much of a bad experience it can be when I last visited my mother, and she had constant pop ups from the notifications area (lower right) on her Windows 10 system. There was a constant stream of them, even when all her browsers were closed. You can turn them off in Windows, but it's harder to find the switch in the browsers.
