Social networking sites like Facebook demand your constant attention. As such, they require you to sign in to your respective browsers to have agreed to receive notifications. Google Chrome and Edge are by far the most preferred browser for computer users and are no exception to this rule. Constant beeps and bell sounds can distract you from your work. If you want these notifications from Facebook not to bother you, it is best to have them disabled. Here’s how you can turn off or disable Facebook Notifications in Chrome and Edge.
Disable Facebook notifications in Chrome and Edge
By default, the browser alerts you whenever a website, app, or extension wants to send you notifications. So, if you recently noticed a ‘Desktop Notifications are on’ popup message while accessing your Facebook account in Edge and Chrome and unknowingly clicked the ‘OK’ button.
In that case, you are likely to see push notifications from the Facebook page appear in the corner of the screen every time.
Nevertheless, the user is at the discretion to change it at any given time. To disable Facebook notifications in Chrome, follow these steps:
- First, open your Google Chrome browser.
- Click on 3-dots on top-right > Settings.
- Select Privacy and Security > Site Settings.
- Click Permissions > Notifications
- Under Customized behaviors > Allowed to send notifications
- Click the three vertical dot menu next to Facebook, and choose Remove or Block.
You could also, alternatively, directly visit this URL to open these settings:
chrome://settings/content/notifications
That’s it! This way, you can choose whether or not you wish to be notified by Facebook.
Block Notifications on Microsoft Edge
For Microsoft Edge, you can go directly to edge://settings/content/notifications and then choose Remove. If you want to do it through the UI, Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Notification and then choose to block or remove Facebook.
The issue caught my attention when I observed Facebook throwing notifications at the bottom right corner of my computer screen for the last few days.
