How notifications work
By default, Chrome alerts you whenever a website, app or extension wants to send you notifications. You can change this setting at any time.
When you browse sites with intrusive or misleading notifications, Chrome automatically blocks notifications and recommends that you continue to block these notifications.
If you browse privately, you won’t get notifications.
