Google has stepped up its effort against websites that have a history of sending abusive notification content, by blocking notification permission requests in Chrome 86.
This is the latest step Google has taken in this direction, after the introduction of the quiet notification permission UI in Chrome 80 and the automatic enrollment in the quiet notification UI for websites that display abusive notification permission requests starting with Chrome 84.
"When abusive notification content is detected on an origin, Chrome will automatically display the permission requests using a quieter UI," Google reveals.
Starting with Chrome 86, the enforcement targets notification content and applies to all sites that are known to be sending messages with abusive content.
In the future, Chrome will revert the notification permission status to default for those sites where users might have unintentionally allowed abusive notifications.
