By following these steps, you can reclaim your desktop space and remove the distraction of constant pop-ups.
If you only need to turn off notifications temporarily (for example, while watching a movie or working), you don't need to change any settings permanently. Windows 11 has a built-in "Focus" mode.
Locate Google Chrome in the list and switch the toggle to Off . This instantly silences all banners and sounds from the browser. 2. Disable Notifications Within Google Chrome
However, for those seeking a more holistic solution that silences Chrome notifications at the system level, Windows 11 provides an equally effective alternative. This method is particularly useful for users who find Chrome’s internal settings labyrinthine or who prefer to manage all notification sources from a single, unified interface. The process begins by opening the Windows 11 Settings app, which can be accessed by pressing Win + I on the keyboard or by right-clicking the Start button. From there, navigating to "System" and then "Notifications" brings the user to the command center for all alerts. Scrolling down the list of apps, the user will find "Google Chrome." Simply clicking the toggle switch next to Chrome disables all notifications from the browser instantly. Alternatively, clicking on the Chrome entry itself allows for more nuanced adjustments, such as turning off notification banners or silencing the accompanying sound while keeping the alerts in a notification center. This system-level approach is often the quickest and most definitive method for users who are tired of the constant visual clutter.
