Can the site *stop* prompting me to enable push notifications?


Recommended Posts

I don't enable notifications for anything pretty much, yet every few times I hop on the forum I get some sort of prompt to enable push notifications.

 

I've said no already. If I wanted them, I'd turn them on. I don't want them, I don't want to know they exist, ever.

 

Is there some way to perma-disable this?

I don't think I've ever seen a single push notification request on these forums?? But admittedly the very first thing I tend to do on every web browser is install a proper popup/ad blocker such as uBlock Origin.

...after a quick hunt I can see an option to enable push notifications at the bottom of my forum account settings page.
I assume that there's an option in there to turn it off again if you've previously enabled it...?

I regularly browse the forum from at least four different devices (Laptop, Phone, Tablet, Home PC) and multiple browsers and I've never had it whinge at me about these.

I have never seen a prompt once. Other websites? Yes.  I want to punch a hole through my monitor every time I go to other sites.

Nope, I do not have them enabled. I've verified that. Never have.

I've a hard time believing it's cookies. Given it *just* happened again.

Hadn't cleared anything, there's nothing that should be keeping it from keeping my preferences. I just want it to *stop prompting all together.*

What about the OS' browser / notification settings? Like the rest, I've not had one of those since they did their last overhaul of the forums. I admittedly only use Edge / Windows 10 now a days, so I'm not sure about mobile devices, but most of us are quite adept at those settings I imagine. You don't happen to be incognito or something silly like that by chance? Maybe a wonky VPN setting?

Not using mobile (hate trying to squint at those screens,) no VPN, not incognito/private.

If you go to Notifications > Options > Push Notifications > Allow Notifications - a pop up in your browser will ask if you want to allow notifications. There you can select "Always Block" and then you'll never see the request to allow push notifications ever again.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.
