Helpfully this is something that came up recently with a coworker, here's how
you can both check to see who Chrome is allowing to sent alerts and how to
remove that permission:
- In the address bar put in "chrome://settings" to go directly to the settings
page (you can also click the menu button in the upper right corner and then
choose settings)
- On the settings page scroll down to the bottom and click on Advanced to show
more settings
- In the new section that shows up, under Privacy and Security click on Site
Settings
- In Site Settings click on Notifications, this will show the sites allowed to
send notifications as well as any which have been specifically blocked from
sending them.
- For any of the listed sites click on the three dot button on the right to
bring up a context menu with actions you can take. The choose Block, Edit, or
Remove. Edit would be if you realized there was a typo in the url, block is
basically "No, I'll never, ever want notifications from this site," while
Remove simply removes it from the list.
- You might also see a button that looks sort of like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
That shows up if a browser extension is allowing the notifications to take
place. There should be a small triangle button to the left of that which will
take you to the settings page for that extension.
