Websites nowadays don’t just represent an accumulation of information. They interact with the user to identify what he/she is looking for on the website. As soon as you open some websites, you may find the notification that asks you to allow cookies and notifications. Generally, these settings are designed to improve the user experience. However, you may also get irritated by frequent notifications.
To get rid of the notifications by some or all websites that you visit, almost all modern browsers provide settings to disable them. Once you block a few or all websites from sending you notifications, you won’t get disturbing messages regarding new posts.
