JAKARTA - Google Chrome is now presenting a new feature designed to help users avoid flooding notifications from sites that are rarely visited. This browser will automatically revoke notification permissions from websites that users no longer frequently access Google's latest steps in its efforts to tackle notification fatigue' or fatigue due to too many notifications is not important.

This feature follows a similar approach previously applied to camera and location access permits. Chrome can detect when a user stops interacting with a site and automatically revokes its permission, including for notifications.

This system will be applicable on the desktop and Android versions of Chrome, but does not apply to the web application installed (web apps). Users will receive notifications when notification permissions from a site are revoked, so they will not be surprised if they suddenly no longer receive messages from the site.

If users still want to receive notifications from certain sites, the permission can be re-activated manually. In addition, users also have the option to completely turn off this automatic feature.

This move is considered an important effort to help users focus their attention on truly relevant information. With more and more sites competing to deliver notifications, this new feature is expected to restore the balance between essential information and digital interference.

Google has previously introduced a similar feature on Android 11, which automatically revokes app permissions that have not been used for a long time. Now, the same philosophy is applied to Chrome to maintain the security, privacy, and comfort of users in the web world.
