Somehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.

I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesn't list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity 😂

One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it'll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.

I've literally never even seen a website notification. I wasn't aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.

  • download Firefox
  • install Ublock Origin
  • don't use tiktok
  • download Firefox
  • install Ublock Origin

Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.

Do you know if there is a way to disable these website notifications on Firefox?

Yes, in settings->site permisisons, you can change notifications from ask to allow to block.

Perfect! Thank you for that!! 😊
