Solved How to Stop Websites From Asking to Show Notifications on Vivaldi 4

[filipeazevedo]

Hi,
With Notifications blocked on vivaldi settings how can i stop websites from asking to show notifications? I already went to chrome://settings and notifications on site settings are already disable.

Thanks

FWIW, I have notifications set to Block by default:

And I never ever see Vivaldi asking to show notifications.

Just so we're clear on this, this is the browser dialog to allow notifications. If it doesn't look like this, it's the site, not Vivaldi.

Web push notifications test page:

@filipeazevedo Asking is just a dialog generated by the site, so it would be rather hard for Vivaldi to block that.

[filipeazevedo]

@sgunhouse Yes, I agree.

It still has to trigger something in the browser to open that popup which is part of the browser which in and of itself should be able to be disabled.

@drbonesaw I think the graphical panel tempt the user to accepting notifications BEFORE triggering the browser permission request mechanism. I will try to find a solution.

@sgunhouse Vivaldi browser is like Windows 10. Windows 10 is Windows 7 with a mask and Vivaldi browser is Chromium with a mask. Nothing new, just the mask.

Not even close to accurate on either count, but especially wrong in regards to Vivaldi.

Windows 10 Settings (Windows 10) -> Painel Control (Windows 7)
chrome://settings (Chromium) -> Vivaldi Settings (Vivaldi)

Differences: Just the mask!

There is so much more to Vivaldi than Chrome it's not even funny.

@pathduck It is like this:

And I have this:

The website is this Website Link

From the web push notifications test page I have any browser notification (Webpage link)

Conclusion: It is from the website, right?

[filipeazevedo]

@drbonesaw 😂

[Pathduck]

@filipeazevedo Yes, that's from the website, not Vivaldi. Very little you can do about it.

Maybe you can create some kind of custom Adblocker rule or if you use uBlock Origin it won't show, I don't know.

Edit: I'm not able to trigger that popup on the page, maybe it only shows to PT users. Any special page it always triggers on?

Edit2: I was able to trigger it. Really easy to block with uBlock element picker. Simple rule: www.cmjornal.pt##.registerPush.notificacao

[filipeazevedo]

@pathduck Yes, you are right. I think that you want to say to add it to My Filters instead of My Rules, right? I will try to add www.cmjornal.pt##.registerPush.notificacao to My Filters in uBlock Origin. With Element Picker it add automatically to My Filters. Thank you.

[filipeazevedo]

@pathduck It seems that adding it to My Filters is working. 👍

[filipeazevedo]

@drbonesaw Now seriously. I think that Vivaldi should not allow access to chrome://settings. Why Vivaldi Settings and Chrome Settings simultaneously? Do not make any sense. Like I said, Vivaldi should have only one Settings and should be Vivaldi Settings and block the access to chrome://settings.

[sgunhouse]

Vivaldi doesn't incorporate all of Chromium's settings, yet. There are still some things you need to use Chromium settings to change.

@sgunhouse Which ones? I'm new to Vivaldi browser, but I didn't notice any chromium settings that couldn't find in Vivaldi settings.
