Google Chrome v86 Will Block Abusive Notifications Automatically

Google is cracking down on malicious notifications on its Chrome web browser. With the latest version of Google Chrome, the internet giant has added a new feature aimed at blocking notifications from websites that try to use them for misleading and malicious practices. The feature comes with Google Chrome v86 and joins Google’s recent efforts to easily manage notifications and provide a safer browsing experience. Using Google’s automated web crawling services, the new feature will detect websites that had a record of sending abusive and malicious content through Google Chrome notifications. The Google Chrome notifications will look exactly how they look currently, with the major difference being that Chrome will now start blocking notification permission requests when it detects a pattern of sending abusive notifications from a website.
