Google To Enable the Chrome Anti-Notification Spam System in July 2020
by msmashGoogle announced this week plans to enable its new anti-notification spam system in Chrome over the summer, with the release of Chrome 84, on July 12, 2020. From a report: Known internally as the "quieter notification permission UI," this Chrome component works by blocking sites from showing notification requests, which are hidden under an icon in the Chrome URL bar (on desktop) or under a toolbar (on mobile). Google first announced the "quieter notification permission UI" in January, and shipped it in February, in Chrome 80, in a limited, user opt-in fashion. But in a blog post, Google said the new UI and its ability to detect spammy notification popups has been improved and will roll out enabled by default for all users in July, with the release of Chrome 84.
