Firefox update will switch off notification pop-ups by default

Ever been annoyed by the notification pop-ups on Chrome? Firefox is giving you another compelling reason to switch over. The web browser will block-by-default the notification pop-ups that continuously show up on Chrome. Mozilla ran a test on how its users interacted with pop-ups, and they found that 97% of users dismissed or blocked them. What Mozilla is doing doesn’t mean that notifications will be done away completely. The browser will be substituting the pop-up with an icon in the address bar to alert you that there is a notification that requires your attention. The stable version of Firefox 72 will be introducing the feature, and it’s expected to launch in January 2020. Firefox Nightly has the feature now, though.
