Ask HN: Can browser block all notifications but pretend accepting all?
2 by whatch | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I see a lot of websites that ask/force to subscribe via browser notifications. Sometimes it is less annoying, sometimes more. Often they ask to subscribe using some JS that tries to look like browser requests. And when you click "Subscribe" in such a widget, website fires actual browser notification request (if it is not already blocked). I already block all notification requests via some browser setting, but still see this "pre-requests" everywhere. Is there a way to make browser pretend it accepts all this garbage without actually subscribing (or at least seeing it)? So that websites think that I am already subscribed.
