About this video

When it comes to notifications from websites, I've had my fair share. There are instances where I'm just browsing a site, and suddenly a pop-up appears: "Allow notifications," and I accidentally click "Allow."

There have also been times when I actually wanted the updates, only to regret it later because the browser kept harassing me with random alerts, news flashes, and (worst of all) sketchy ads.

Website notifications can quickly go from helpful to seriously annoying. They interrupt your workflow, hang all over your screen, and sometimes even come from sites you barely remember visiting. Fortunately, Firefox makes it easy to take back control.
