Since upgrading more sites ask for push notifications

[tehabe]

Even MacRumors Forum asks for permission to sent me push notifications even though I turned that off in the Safari settings, does anyone know a way to even turn off those popups for good also I don't like messages like this:

We strongly recommend enabling push notifications on this device so that you can be kept up-to-date with site activity.

I only just upgraded earlier this morning and already had a few. Annoying aren't they!

Yeah, seeing that too. I think it's being done on the website itself using HTML, not the actual mechanism to ask for notifications.

That said, please knock it off! A lot of us don't want notifications; we already get enough of them. They're just going to be deleted anyway. Make the feature available but don't annoy us about it.

See if Safari has equivalent to Chrome "use quieter messaging".

I switched off the setting that sites can even ask for permission but many sites try it anyway and that is very annoying. And currently almost every site I visit has some kind of popup layer asking me that.

I don't get any notifications when setting Chrome to strict "don't allow sites to send notifications" after signing out, clearing cookies and signing back in.

Yeah, it's kinda annoying. At least they'll only ask you once (I guess).

Nope.

In Safari 16.2 (Mac OS 12.6) having safari "Allow websites to ask permission to send notifications" unchecked does NOTHING.

This has been broken for a long time and Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing it

Ready to switch from Safari over this.

I never get these notifications from MacRumors, but maybe that's because I'm always logged-in. On other sites where I'm not always logged-in, I get the pop-up message. FWIW, I get the same behavior in virtually every browser.

As zorinlynx said: there is a difference between the permission request and the website itself showing a dialog.

The "allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" checkbox stops Safari from showing these:


But not these (these are created by the website):
