Google announced today that it plans to activate its new spam notification system on chrome over the summer with the release of Chrome 84 on July 12, 2020.
Internally the function is known as “silent interface user for the permission notifications” or “quieter notification permission UI,” and is a new Chrome component that will block notification requests from appearing.
Google first announces "quieter notification permission UI," in January and added it in February on Chrome 80, but to a limited extent.
However, in a suspension in its blog today, Google said that the new feature detectionof unwanted pop-up notifications has been improved and will ship with pre-enabledchoice for all users in July, with the release of Chrome 84.
According to Google, Chrome will begin blocking and hiding all pop-up notification windows designed to mislead, deceive, or force users to allow notifications.
That is:
- Notification requests that force users to allow notifications in order to obtain access in the content of the website
- Alert requests that display misleading prompts
- Pop-up notifications that look like messages conversations, or system warnings
- Ιστότοποι που μόλις λάβουν την έγκριση για την εμφάνιση ειδοποιήσεων στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης, χρησιμοποιούν τις ειδοποιήσεις για να κλέψουν προσωπικά data ή να εξαπατήσουν τους χρήστες να μοιραστούν προσωπικά στοιχεία
- Websites that have just received approval to display notifications use it to promote, host, or link to malicious or unwanted software.
Websites that use the notification API properly will be allowed to display notifications as long as they do not annoy users or use dark practices.
Webmasters who have registered their domain in Google's Search Console can check whether their site will be banned from July through the Search Console dashboard, in the new Report Abusive Notifications section Report).
