If you usually surf the internet using the Google Chrome browser from your computer or laptop, surely once in a while visiting a website, you have received a notification in the upper left part of the window. Specifically, this notification is displayed just to the left of the URL address bar. These notifications are usually requests for access to your computer's microphone, webcam, etc. such as:
- Request: The site_Web wants to show Notifications.
- Request: The site_Web wants to use the Microphone.
- Request: The Web site wants to use the WebCam.
- Request: The site_Web wants to access your location.
- etc
This can be quite annoying, especially if you are obsessed with privacy, since on some occasions you may mistakenly click on this notification and unknowingly activate some of the requests. These notifications do not belong to the Google Chrome web browser, but are sent by the website you are currently visiting. The Google Chrome browser only shows you requests from the Web ..
Among the different requests that you may receive in Google Chrome from a website , you will find: Request to send notifications, Request to access your computer's webcam, Request to access your computer's microphone, etc. It is true that the moment you receive the request from a website in Chrome, you can choose to Allow or Block such access by simply clicking on the buttons shown in the Request.
However, this can be somewhat tiresome, so you can decide to disable the sending of notifications by websites when they are visited from Google Chrome.
