In this guide, we will be showing you how to disable push notifications on your PC browser. But first, we will have to understand what push notifications are. Web-based push notifications are those alerts you get from specific sites you’ve subscribed to upon opening your web browser or while using the web Browser. Websites use these push notifications to engage with their readers/viewers as a way to notify them when they have new content. This is similar to the email alert although more effective as most people hardly check their emails and spend a considerable amount of time using their web Browsers than they do checking their emails.

Push notifications are always a good way for website owners to build a relationship with their visitors/readers by promptly notifying them of new content. Now if you subscribed for the push notifications to stay Updated with the new content on the site then there is no problem. However, if you mistakenly Subscribed or no longer want to get the push notifications from any of those websites then there is a way to disable it.
