- Google Chrome adds a new message management feature
- Notifications will be disabled for sites you haven’t used recently
- Tweak is being pushed out to Google Chrome on Desktop and Android
Google Chrome is taking steps to reduce the number of messages you see in your browser: Starting on the desktop and on Android, the app will start turning off review positions for sites you “haven’t interacted with recently”.
According to the Chromium Blog, the idea is that you get a quieter browsing experience that is disturbed less often but still see messages that matter – from sites you are using regularly. The blog says “This feature will only revoke permissions to sites when there is very low user engagement and a large number of messages sent”.
This is actually something Chrome already does for camera and location permits. If you have given a site these access privileges and then stop visiting it, it is best to revoke the privileges of security interests.
According to the blog post, less than 1% of the messages receive some interaction, but there is also a recognition that “messages can be really valuable and helpful” – and nothing will happen to the alarms from sites you often visit.
Message settings
There is no exact timeframe given to what is actually counting as a site you have not interacted with recently, but you will see a message emerging from Chrome when it decides to unsubscribe from messages from a particular site.
At that time (or at any other time) you can review the list of sites that are allowed to send you warnings: In the desktop browser, click the three dots (in the upper right) then Settings> Privacy and Security> Site Settings> Notifications. On Android, press the three dots (top right), then Settings> Notifications.
It is also possible to turn off this new feature completely if you do not want Google Chrome Rod with your message settings for any site – although it seems to be a useful and practical fine tuning that doesn’t need much in the way of management.
Tests from the Google Chrome Team “shows a significant reduction in overloading review with only a minimal change in total review -click” apparently, and websites that send fewer messages actually end up getting more clicks on them.
