Browser Notifications and Pop-Ups Explained

Short answer: Block notifications for sites you do not want alerts from, and close pop-ups without clicking inside them.

Alerts can appear at awkward times. You can control them.

Why they appear

Sites ask permission and you click Allow.

Turn them off

Open site settings in your browser and set notifications to Block.

Pop-ups

Use the browser's pop-up blocker and close with the window's X.
