Chrome Update: Google Chrome introduces the most useful feature, getting rid of unnecessary notifications..

Google Chrome Smart Alert Control: Google Chrome has made a major change to its browser notification policy. Under this policy, Chrome will now automatically disable notifications from websites that users haven't interacted with for a long time. This feature will prevent unnecessary notifications and provide users with a better and more peaceful browsing experience.

How will Chrome's new Smart Alert Control work?
According to Google, this new feature builds on Chrome's Safety Check system, which already removes camera and location access from inactive websites. Notification permissions will now be automatically disabled similarly, but only for websites with low user engagement and high notification output. According to Google's internal data, 99% of notifications are ignored by users, making them more annoying than useful.

Users will get complete control and notifications.
Google has clarified that this change will not apply to all sites, but only to websites with low user interaction. When Chrome removes notification permissions, the user will be notified. Users can still re-enable notifications by using Safety Check or visiting a website. Furthermore, users who prefer the old system can also turn off this automatic feature altogether.

Reduction in Notification Overload and Improved User Engagement
Google stated that testing this system significantly reduced notification overload and did not negatively impact overall notification clicks. In fact, user engagement increased slightly on websites that sent fewer notifications. This feature is part of Google's efforts to give users more control and a better browsing experience.
