**Block desktop notifications from specific sites using the contentSettings API** Lightweight Chrome & Firefox extension that blocks annoying desktop notification popups by default. Toggle settings for specific sites in one click, and manage your preferences in a clean dashboard. Clean & private!
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Nicolás, the creator of the Notification Blocker!
We've all been there: you open a news article or a new utility site, and before you can even read a single line of text, you get hit with:
*"this-website.com wants to show notifications"*
Not only is it annoying, but it's also a distraction and sometimes a privacy risk (with scam websites abusing push notifications). While browsers allow you to disable them in deep settings menus, managing them site-by-site is a chore.
I wanted a simple, lightweight, and local-first tool that solves this. So I built this extension for chrome and firefox.
### ✨ Core Features:
1. 🛡️ **Block by Default**: Automatically block notification prompts on any new site you visit before they can even ask.
2. ⚡ **1-Click Toggle**: Change settings (Allow/Block) for the active tab instantly from the popup.
3. 🎛️ **Central Dashboard**: Easily review and manage your blocked site list from a clean options manager.
4. 🔒 **Privacy-First**: No tracking, no external servers, no complex permissions. Just pure utility.
I would love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or questions!

Cheers,
Nicolás
