Last but not least, did you know that you can quickly manage notifications directly from the system tray? You’ve probably seen the notification icon when you click the tray but it’s probably a very underutilized tool for a lot of users. In this menu, however, you simply toggle the notifications on or off. As with the site notifications, clicking into an app or PWA will show you notifications if they are available. Select “Manage Apps” and you’ll be greeted by all of your installed apps. Click the gear icon and on the left-hand side of the settings, you should see an “Apps” tab. Alternately, you can just point your URL bar to chrome://settings/content/all.įor Chrome and Android apps, you can head to your device’s settings menu by clicking the system tray in the bottom right corner. Since Chrome OS has now split the browser and device settings, you can find your Chrome notifications by clicking the three-dot menu at the top right of the browser and clicking “Settings.” From there, you will click “Privacy and security” and “site settings.” Now, click “View permissions and data stored across sites” to see all of the sites that have stored data on your account. First, we’ll start with the Chrome browser since it is where the majority of users spend their time. With all of the new ways to use Chrome OS, there isn’t a single, direct path to managing your notifications but thankfully, the various methods are relatively simple. However, with the addition of Android and Linux apps, PWAs and integrations such as Messages, it isn’t difficult to let your notifications get out of control.
Once upon a time, notifications on Chrome OS were little more than what you’d expect when using a browser on any platform. On the flip side, they can be an absolutely frustrating annoyance when they get out of hand and become a distraction. Desktop notifications can be a great addition to your workflow when managed properly.
