Can't wait for browsers to start blocking overlays

I'd like them to start blocking those pointless notification prompts too

just did this in chrome, settings, search notifications, toggle ask so it says 'Blocked'

I don't get why every site out there thinks I want notifications.

I like notifications for some websites though so don't want to block them fully. Facebook/Messenger spring to mind for notifications I actually want.

Looks like it can't be disabled for any of googles own products.

What did you expect from a browser made by an advertisement company?

Firefox just added the ability to disable these prompts in today's release.
