About this guide

Spammy "Allow notifications?" sites keep pinging you after one wrong tap. Chrome has a setting for websites and Android has one for the whole app. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.

The screenshots are from Chrome and the Gmail app on a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with Android 16 and One UI 8.5, in dark mode. Both apps look the same on other Android phones; only the phone's own settings screens differ by brand.

Good to know

Switching off Chrome as a whole also stops download and media notifications from Chrome.

Pop-ups and ads in the browser are a separate setting: pop-up ads on a Samsung Galaxy: how to stop them.

In short: Chrome, Settings, Site settings, Notifications: Don't allow. Whole app: phone Settings, Apps, Chrome, Notifications.
