Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Manage Notifications and Pop-ups and redirects separately under Site settings, preferably per site instead of allowing them globally.

Separate the permissions

Website notifications are alert messages; pop-ups and redirects open windows or pages and use a different Chrome setting.

Open Site settings

Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings, then open Notifications or Pop-ups and redirects.

Set a site exception

Search the site's permission entry and choose Allow, Block, or Reset rather than changing every site.

Remove abusive permission

Block unknown sites, remove deceptive extensions, and use Chrome Safety Check when alerts claim the computer is infected.

Verify the result

Trigger one legitimate site notification or pop-up and verify only that domain has the intended permission while unknown sites remain blocked.

Video walkthrough

If it does not work

  • If deceptive alerts continue, revoke the exact site's permission and inspect extensions with Safety Check. Do not click virus claims or allow pop-ups globally.
