Hello,

I don't want any websites to send me desktop notifications. I'm pretty sure in Opera 58 I disabled it. Now that I've upgraded to Opera 60.0.3255.84 I can't find a way to do it. I've searched all settings, but the only one is approve all notifications or after asking.

Is there a way to disable all notification questions for all web sites? I tried blocking all domains like ..*, ..com etc., but Opera doesn't allow doing that.

Thank you in advance,
Marek

Go to opera://settings/content/notifications and disable it.

@leocg Thank you. Is it actually to disable the pop-ups and automatically decline website requests? The label of the setting indicates it is for disabling the pop-ups and accepting the requests. Maybe it's just confusing.

Are you looking at the correct place? The option for pop-ups are another one.

I've looked into this place Opera settings

The Polish translation says more or less "Ask before sending (recommended)". Hence my concern.

If it'd say "Automatically decline notification requests" I would just use it. But I don't want web sites to start sending me notifications without asking.

If you move the switch to the left you will be blocking desktop notifications.

@leocg That's great. Thank you for explaining. It seems the label is misleading.
