In OS X Mavericks and above, you can subscribe to websites’ push notifications, which will show you things like breaking news or new content you might be interested in at the top-right corner of your screen. Although this can be a helpful feature, you might want to have better control over these possibly-distracting notifications.
Sites that support push notifications usually ask you when you visit them if you’d like to allow those alerts. Some sites let you customize the kinds of notifications you get, such as all new articles or just the most important ones. Whatever you decide at the time, you can later prevent or allow notifications from websites in Safari’s settings.
1. Click Preferences from the Safari menu.
2. Go to the Notifications tab.
3. Click Allow or Deny next to the website you want to edit.
4. Select a site and click the Remove button if you want to delete it from the list completely .
You could also click the Remove All button to remove all of the sites from the list. When you visit these sites, you’ll be asked again to allow push notifications–unless you uncheck the box that says “Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications.”
5. Click the Notifications Preferences button to further customize sites’ push notifications in OS X’s System Preferences. Here you adjust the alert style, lock screen notifications, and number of alerts shown in Notification Center.

Is MacOS driving you crazy with Safari notifications from websites you don’t want to hear from? These days most websites will at least drop a warning before creating a connection to your desktop and posting updates, but it’s still possible to rack up extra notifications.
No one likes unwanted messages pushed to their private desktop all the time, so you may be desperate to remove a few (or all). Here’s how to turn them off in Apple’s web browser.
Step 1: Head to Safari’s preferences
Make sure your Safari browser is open on MacOS. At the top left corner of your screen (your full screen, not the Safari window), look for the menu item “Safari” and select it.
One of the early options in the dropdown menu should be “Preferences.” Choose this to begin.
Step 2: Check website permissions
Preferences will open a new window with all the important Safari settings. There’s a lot you can change here, but to deal with notifications, look at the top of the window and choose the “Websites” option. Now look to the sidebar menu on the left, where you will see a lot of different options to control how websites deal with various MacOS features. Look down until you see an option for “Notifications” and select that.
Now, this will open up a section in the middle of the window that will show you all the websites that have asked for permission to push notifications to your operating system — which you don’t want to happen in most cases. It’s a good idea to check out these website to see if there are any notifications that you actually want to keep. Think about organizations you may be a part of, sites that are very important to you, and so on.
If you want to forget the whole notification thing as soon as possible, just uncheck the “Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications” at the bottom.
Step 3: Deny any permissions you want
You will notice that each website has, on the right hand, a little drop-down menu with options to “Deny” or “Allow” permission to send notifications. You can simply switch to “Deny” for any websites that you don’t want bothering you. Some sites may already be on “Deny” if you have blocked them. Going through the sites one by one is a great way to customize the notifications that you see.
This part may look a little different if you have an older version of Safari, but the process should work generally the same way. Note that Safari updates are no longer available on Windows, which will eventually compromise the safety of the browser on that operating system. You may want to consider switching to a different browser.
Step 4: Remove any websites you want
As you go through the sites, you may find some (or all of them) that you have zero interest in and never want notifications from. In this case, highlight the website by selecting it, and use the “Remove” button toward the bottom of the window to take it away completely.
Why should you leave websites in “Deny” mode and not remove them? Because sometimes you may want to switch notifications at certain times. There may be some sites that you want to monitor for deals during the holidays, or sites you want to turn on for news notifications during bad weather. However, you don’t need these kinds of notifications all the time, so switching them off is possible as well.
Extra tip: Just say no
Remember, most websites must give you an option to allow push notifications. Safari makes this option very obvious with a drop-down window when you enter a new website. Simply choose “Don’t Allow” to block the website from pushing anything.
If you do allow notifications, you may also have the option to deny the site from knowing your location, which accomplishes a similar goal. If you deny a website access that this point, it may not even show up in your website permissions.

Many websites now have a feature where they can offer to send you notifications of new content from time to time. Those notifications can pop up on your Windows or Mac computer or on your Android phone, depending on how you subscribed to them.
The notifications can be handy if they are from one of your favourite sites as that site will be able to give you a heads-up when it has a new article that it thinks you might be interested in.
We offer such a service on T3.com, so if you are subscribed to it, then you’ll get notifications from us when we post a hot piece of news, a review of an exciting new product or a deal that we think you might want to check out.

Your web browser likely now allows websites to send you notifications in a similar way to the apps you use, and sometimes you might decide that you just don’t want them.
It can be useful for news stories and updates from websites you know and love. It’s something we even do on TechRadar for our fans, but you may not want notifications from us and we understand that.
That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how you can disable notifications for Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari.
Whenever you visit a website that wants to send you notifications, you’ll be greeted with a pop up that asks whether you want to agree to them or not. Your options will be ‘allow’ or ‘block’.
If you’re getting notifications from TechRadar or another site, you will have previously pressed the allow button. It may be you’ve visited sites in the past and pressed allow without really realizing, or you’ve intentionally decided you wanted them but now you’ve decided they’re not for you. If that’s the case, below we’ll teach you how to turn them off.
How to turn off web notifications in Google Chrome
- Open Chrome
- Select ‘Settings’
- Navigate to ‘Privacy’
- Scroll to ‘Notifications’
- Choose the websites you want notifications from
This is all a similar process for Windows PC, Apple Mac and Android phone users, but it may look a little different to the screenshots we’ve got here depending on what platform you’re on.
The first step for every platform is to open up Google Chrome on whatever device you’re getting the notifications through to.
In the top right hand corner there are three vertical dots, and this will open up the main menu on Chrome and you’ll want to select ‘Settings’. Then, you’ll want to scroll down to the bottom where it says ‘Advanced’.
Below that is a section that is called ‘Privacy’ and you’ll find another sub section called ‘Content Settings’ and this is where you’ll be able to turn off notifications.
The next window has a section called ‘Notifications’, and you’ll either be able to turn all notifications off by default or toggle which websites you’d like to receive notifications from.
Scroll to the bottom of this page and you’ll find a section called ‘Allow’. This is a list of all the websites you’ve allowed to send you notifications. Press on the three vertical dots to the right hand side of the website’s name and you’ll have the option of blocking notifications, editing them or removing them.
If you choose to block them, you won’t be asked by that website to activate notifications whenever you next visit.
‘Edit’ allows you to change the name of the website (we wouldn’t recommend this for most people) while ‘Remove’ will stop notifications but you may be asked if you want them again the next time you visit that website.
If you’re in two minds on whether you want the notifications or not, we’d recommend choosing the ‘remove’ option. When you’ve hit that button, you’ve now stopped that website from sending you notifications.
This is connected to your Google account, so it should mean you don’t receive any notifications on any of your devices anymore. You may still get one or two sent through while the settings are finalized, but you shouldn’t get many if any more at all.
What if you want notifications back?
This is easy, and very similar to the steps above. If you’ve blocked notifications from a website you’ll find it listed in the ‘block’ section at the top of that notifications page.
If you’ve removed notifications and not blocked them, you can just head to the website again and it’s likely you’ll be asked if you want to subscribe to them again.
You can head to any website you know that wants to give you notifications on the desktop version of Chrome and press on the padlock logo that’s next to the URL bar on the top left.
Here you’ll see a section called ‘Notifications’ with a drop-down menu next to it that says to either ‘ask’, ‘allow’ or ‘block’ depending on what you want that website to be able to do.
Turn off notifications in Firefox on Mac, Android or PC
If you’re using Firefox, you may also get notifications from websites. The easiest way to unsubscribe is to enter the following into the URL box at the top of the browser: about:preferences#privacy.
This will take you to the preferences in Firefox if you’re using a PC or Mac. In here you will then have to scroll down to ‘Permissions’, find the option that says ‘Notifications’ and press on the ‘Settings’ button to the right.
Here you’ll find all the websites you currently have that can send you notifications along with a status bar that will likely say ‘Allow’. Press on this and change it to ‘Block’ and be sure to hit the ‘Save Changes’ button in the bottom right corner.
If you have Firefox on your phone, you’ll have to head to the specific website you want to stop notifications for. Here you’ll see a padlock in the top left hand corner, and if you press on here it’ll say ‘Edit Site Settings’.
Once you’ve pressed that you’ll see an option that says ‘Notifications’ with a check box on the right hand side. Hit the ‘Clear’ button at the bottom of this window and you will have unsubscribed successfully.
How to turn off notifications in Microsoft Edge on PC
Within Microsoft Edge, you’ll be able to access the main menu by pressing on the three dots in the top right corner. That’s called the Over Edge section, and within here you’ll find an option called ‘Settings’ followed by ‘View Advanced Settings’.
This menu will then have an option called ‘Notifications’. Within here you’ll want to press on ‘Website Permissions’. Here you’ll be able to control what each page can do with your Microsoft Edge browser, and you can revoke access for notifications for each website here.
How to turn off notifications in Safari on Mac
If you’re using Safari, it’s a little different. You’ll have to open up Safari Preferences on your Mac, and in here you’ll find an option that says ‘Websites’ along the top of the screen.
Press on this, and in the list to the left you’ll find an option called ‘Notifications’. All the sites you’re subscribed to will be listed here, and you can press on either ‘Allow’ or ‘Deny’ in the drop-down to the right hand side. Once you’ve selected ‘Deny’ you’ll be free of Safari notifications.
What about my iPhone or iPad?
You can’t currently get Google Chrome notifications through to your iOS devices, so this isn’t something you’ll have to deactivate.
