One of the useful features of Google Chrome is called Chrome Notification, and it can be very useful if it is used in the right way. It notifies you when new content is published on your favorite websites by sending notifications from those websites to which you have subscribed. Once you have subscribed, you will see a notification in the lower right-hand corner of your screen whenever the website publishes new content.
However, if you subscribe to a large number of websites, you may experience an increase in the number of notifications that pop up on your browser. If this is something that bothers you and you would like to find a way to stop it, you have come to the right place.
I am getting this notification after subscribing to neilpatel.com websites.
How does Chrome Notification work?
Often when you browse websites on Google Chrome, you are prompted to allow or disallow notifications by a particular website. You can see that popup as shown below. Especially on the left corner or middle of the web content.

If you click on Allow, then that particular site will start notifying you about usually new content added recently.

If you click on Block then the site won’t be able to prompt you again and will not show notifications.
Point to Remember:

We call this notification Chrome push notifications.

Even if you close the chrome browser, chrome can still send notifications because it runs in the background.

Notification that you receive from chrome is different from Windows Notifications. These are popups from the websites and chrome runs this.
