Google Enhances Chrome Experience with New Notification Controls

Transform Your Notification Settings with Google Chrome

Google is expanding its Chrome safety capabilities by providing users with the option to opt out of bothersome website notifications instantly. This feature, currently available on Pixel devices, will roll out to more Android users soon. An unsubscribe button will appear on notifications, allowing you to quickly remove subscriptions to unnecessary alerts, such as horoscopes or obscure trivia. There’s even an undo option if you wish to retain a specific alert.

Moreover, Chrome introduces an updated Safety Check feature that operates quietly in the background to automatically revoke permissions for sites that haven't been accessed for a while or pose risks. User actions, such as suspicious password notifications or software updates, can also be monitored in the summary panel.

New One-Time Access Permissions

Another significant update allows users to grant one-time permissions for essential functions like microphone and camera access. For instance, after attending a virtual doctor's appointment, Chrome will automatically revoke access to the camera, ensuring user privacy.

Stay Updated with Google Chrome

This update makes managing unwanted notifications and website permissions easier than ever. For more updates and tips on enhancing your Chrome experience, consider visiting the official Google support page.
