Users should have complete control over their default browser’s features and settings. Browser notifications tend to distract the users most. Luckily, the Microsoft Edge Chromium browser suggests a way around this issue. It enables users to enable Quiet Notification Requests.
Enable Quiet Notification Requests in Edge browser
Browser notification dialog boxes are bothering since they allow websites to push spam or undesirable content to users. As such, browser makers like Microsoft feel committed to making the browsing experience safer as well as less troublesome. Microsoft Edge, in particular, offers an option to hide them.
These notifications mainly appear when a user visits a website for the first time and agrees to sign up to receive notifications regarding new content.
