On Windows
11, sometimes, when you browse an interesting website, you will
receive a prompt to allow notifications on the desktop when new articles are
published.
If you
click the “Allow” button, and you are now getting tons of notifications, or you
gave the site permission by mistake, it’s possible to stop that and other
websites from pushing updates to the Windows 11 or Windows
10 desktop, whether you use Microsoft
Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
This guide will
teach you the easy steps to prevent a specific website from showing
notifications on Windows 11 from the three major web browsers.
