You can remove or block notifications for individual websites in the following ways:
Remove or block notifications in Edge settings
- In Edge, go to Settings and more in the upper right corner of your browser window.
- Select Settings > Cookies and site permissions and select Notifications. Under Allow, you will find a list of websites that are currently sending you notifications.
- Select the three dots next to the website from which you want to stop receiving notifications and select either Remove or Block.
- Selecting Block stops the website from sending you notifications.
- Selecting Remove stops notifications also, but if you visit this website in the future the site will ask if you want to allow notifications again.
This will immediately stop any further notifications popping up for the user.
Note: If you are receiving unwanted pop-ups, which are not the same as website notifications, please see Block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge. Pop-ups are advertisements, notices, offers, and alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window, or in another tab.
