Brave-browser: Allow me to block all notifications requesting permission

[bsclifton]

Carried over from https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/12467

Description

I'd like to have a global setting that blocks (or automatically declines) all future requests for permission to send notifications to me in the Windows Brave application. Seriously, every blog and their mother these days wants to pipe notifications to me to get me to come back so they get more ad revenue. It's getting ridiculous!

(Beware: incoming eyerolls)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to nearly any site (or their mother's blog) and you'll be prompted to allow them to send notifications to you.
2. I get annoyed and rage close the tab.
3. I go to another site and get the same prompt.
4. I get further annoyed, rage quit the internet, and go eat a pint of ice cream sitting on the floor in the corner of my office.

Actual result:
I gain 10 lbs.

Expected result:
I never see a request again for notification permission.

Reproduces how often:
Only 100% of the time on every site that I would never want to grant this permission to.

Thanks for getting this into Core. I assume this is where I should have originally filed it anyway - my bad. 👍

Much needed. Hope this has a good priority. Seems an odd omission from a browser with privacy in mind.

+1! Would love to see this one!

+1 also. I do not want any site to prompt me. It would also be nice to have an option to prevent programs from opening up your browser. Like AMD's GPU installer, opens a browser window on install and uninstall. It just takes you to their site. I gave them permission to interact with my GPU's not the rest of my computer, or installed applications.

You can fully disable notification prompts in the Content Settings section of settings.

I guess it's the old RTFM, lol. Thank you for pointing this out. I should
have looked, and I know better.

Turn the top slider to off, that worked for me.

Dumb question: where do I find the "Notifications" screen? I have searched under Settings.
Version 0.59.35 Chromium: 72.0.3626.81 (Official Build) (64-bit) - under Linux

@bigbaldbob First of all, please update to the latest version of Brave (currently 0.63.55). Instructions here: https://brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-brave.html#linux.

Once you have updated, follow these steps:

1. Open settings.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and click Advanced.
3. Click Site Settings.
4. Click Notifications.

Alternatively, enter brave://settings/content/notifications in the URL bar.

The Settings page layout has changed over the last few stable versions (and has continued to change in the last few beta releases), so these steps are subject to change.

[bigbaldbob]

Thanks!
