Are you sick and tired of visiting a website to read an article or check if an item is in stock and being ambushed by a pervasive pop-up asking permission to send you notifications? Me too, which is why I'm excited for the upcoming version 80 of the Google Chrome browser that promises to introduce a “quieter notification permission UI”.
Chrome 80 will allow users to opt-in manually to the quieter notifications or be automatically enrolled, taking into users who generally choose to block notifications and sites with low- opt-in rates. Once your Chrome browser has updated to version 80, you'll be able to opt-in by opening up Settings, Site Settings, Notifications and then enabling the “Sites can ask to send notifications” and “Use quieter messaging” options.
If your patience with notification permission pop-ups is already at rock-bottom and you simply can't wait a minute longer, you can enable it as an experimental feature in Chrome 79 by heading to chrome://flags/#quiet-notification-prompts.
