Both Safari and Chrome browsers on your Mac allow websites to send Push Notification Pop-ups, asking whether they would like to allow or Enable Push Notifications for the website.
Disable Push Notifications From Websites On Mac
As soon as you start browsing any website on your Mac, you will immediately see a pop-up, prompting you to either Allow or Deny Notifications from the particular website that you are trying to browse.
In case you click on Allow, you will start getting Notifications from the website, every time a new article is published on that website. As you can imagine, this feature in Safari and Chrome Browsers is good for website owners and it allows them to reach their readers.
However, the problem with this feature is that these pop-ups never stop and you will continue to get these Push Notification Pop-ups even if you click on the Deny option.
Hence, the only way to stop Push Notification pop-ups from appearing on your Mac is to completely disable this feature on Safari and Chrome browsers on your Mac.
