With less than 1% engagement on alerts, Chrome’s new feature aims to boost user focus and engagement by silencing the chatter. Enjoy your newfound peace!

Hot Take:

Finally, Google Chrome is acting like the helpful friend who knows when to leave the party before it gets awkward. By revoking notification permissions for MIA websites, Chrome is saving us from the digital version of that one friend who sends 10 “Hey, you there?” texts in a row. It’s about time someone told those pesky sites to chill out!

Key Points:

  • Google Chrome will automatically revoke notification permissions for websites not visited recently.
  • The feature targets sites with low user engagement, reducing notification overload.
  • Users can restore permissions via Safety Check or by revisiting the site.
  • The update is part of Google’s effort to enhance browser privacy and user control.
  • Chrome now allows one-time permissions, which are revoked after leaving the site.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
