What the mobile is filled with advertising for no apparent reason It’s a little more common than I would like. However, and fortunately, there is always a cause and a solution to this. And although these origins are diverse, in my experience I can attest that there is a kind of “advertising invasion” above the rest.
i mean those appear in mobile notification panel and that technically we could say that they are not advertising, since they are dressed like any other notification. And also they come from the browser and this is the origin of everything to eliminate them completely.
Why our browser sends us notifications that we are not interested in
In the same way that we can receive notifications from WhatsApp with the message that has just been sent to us, the browser also has the power to send them. Actually, all within the framework of a double prior authorization that we have granted
This second point is the most problematic. When we access a website, different types of notices may appear. See cookie permission as an example. And if this website is also considering sending push notificationsa pop-up notification will also appear asking permission to send it to us.
These so-called push notifications they don’t have to be bad. Sometimes they have a good cause, like in digital newspapers that post notifications about recent news so that the user comes to read it as soon as possible. In other cases, it may seem more intrusive, such as fashion stores, which tend to take advantage of this type of notification to report promotions, which is more like traditional advertising.
the problem comes when these notifications are abusive or do not directly interest us. It is therefore better to delete them. And in this sense, we have two possibilities: delete them individually while keeping the others or delete them all directly.
How to restrict some or all notifications from websites
If you want restrict notifications from one or more websites, but not all, any Android web browser offers this possibility by entering its settings. Although the method may vary in each, it is generally very similar and intuitive.
In the case of Google ChromeThe steps to follow are these:
- Open Google Chrome on mobile.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Go to ‘Settings’.
- Go to “Notifications”.
- In the “Websites” section, uncheck the tab for any websites you don’t want to be able to send you notifications for.
- if what you want is delete all notifications Chrome, at the top of this menu, you need to disable the “All Chrome Notifications” tab.
Whether notifications come from apps or other browsers
We put special emphasis on browser notifications, but the truth is that there are applications that also abuse the sending of notifications. Without quoting them, we all know cases of large online stores or clothing chains that take advantage of this type of authorization to overwhelm us with ads for offers.
Once done, you will have reached control one of the most annoying elements that appear on your mobile. Yes, it can’t be bad, the permission was granted by us, but we’re not always smart enough to remember it and learning this process to restrict it is always interesting.
