How to Turn Off Microsoft Edge Notifications on Mobile and PC

While you may have enabled push notifications from your favorite websites to receive updates as they arrive, it won’t be long before it becomes a nuisance. I mean, you already have the app on your device, making it harder to manage notifications, to the point where sometimes the extra fuss of website notifications seems unnecessary.

Thankfully, browsers like Microsoft Edge make it easy to turn off those annoying warnings on both mobile devices and PCs.

Let’s say you’re tired of receiving irrelevant advertising or notifications from websites all the time. In that case, this post will show you several ways to turn off notifications on Microsoft Edge. So let’s get started.

How to turn off all notifications in Microsoft Edge for PC

Ideally, Edge will ask your permission before allowing any site to send push notifications. But if you don’t intend to receive any of them, here’s how to turn off all notifications on Microsoft Edge for PC.

Step 1: Launch Microsoft Edge. Click the three-dot menu icon in the upper right to open Settings.

Step 2: Use the left pane to navigate to Cookies and site permissions. Under Site Permissions, scroll down to click Notifications.

Step 3: Turn off the switch next to Ask before sending (recommended).

And that’s about it. Now Edge will not send you any notifications.

Now, let’s say you want to turn off notifications only for some selected websites and receive notifications from the rest. In that case, Edge also allows you to turn off notifications on a page-by-page basis. This is the way.

Step 1: Open Settings on Microsoft Edge and navigate to Cookies and site permissions.

Step 2: Go to Notifications. Here, in the Block section, you can add the URLs of the websites that you don’t want to receive any more notifications from. Click the Add button in the Block section.

Step 3: Enter the URL of the website you want to block and tap Add again.

You can repeat these steps to block more websites. Likewise, you can allow certain websites to send notifications by adding them to the Allow section.

Step 2: Under Site Permissions, click All Sites.

Step 3: Here you will find all the websites that you have visited. Click the arrow next to the website for which you want to turn off notifications.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android. Go to Apps and notifications. Locate Microsoft Edge from the application list.

Step 2: Next, go to the Notifications section. Under Websites you will find websites that are allowed to push notifications on your phone. Turn off the switch next to the website’s URL if you don’t want to receive notifications from it anymore.

Push notifications have come a long way. But some websites often abuse this feature to sell their products. Usually, allowing such notifications means that you will fill up those bulletin boards too quickly and may miss some important announcements.
