      Everytime Asana or Google Calendar try to send me a notification, I get asked by the browser whether I want to allow the website to send notifications. I always click "block" but it seems there's no way to persist this option, and next time I open the website and it asks to send notifications, I'm asked again.

      I've even gone to opera://settings/content/notifications and set the most restrictive of settings for the whole browser, but it seems both the "Use quieter messaging" and "Don't allow sites to send notifications" options are being ignored. Furthermore, I've added custom settings for one of the sites to try blocking it that way, and that also seems to be ignored.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Open a new tab and go to Google Calendar, Asana, or some other notification site
      2. When asked if you want to allow notifications from the site, click "block"
      3. Close the tab
      4. Open a new tab again and go to the same site again
      5. The request to send notifications will come up again when the website next wants to send a notification
