You can set up Chrome to get notifications, like meeting reminders, from websites, apps, and extensions.
If you get pop-ups or ads, learn how to block or allow pop-ups.
How notifications work
By default, Chrome alerts you whenever a website, app, or extension wants to send you notifications. You can change this setting at any time.
When you browse sites with intrusive or misleading notifications, Chrome automatically blocks notifications and recommends you continue to block these notifications.
If you browse privately, you won’t get notifications.
