Any way to stop the message to enable push notifications from popping up?

[Frag Maniac]

I always surf forums in Incognito mode, maybe this is why it keeps popping up, but it's very annoying. I'm also a bit of an anomaly as I don't use mobile devices, including cell phones, so PNs would do me no good anyway.

In Preferences under Push Notifications I don't have the box checked or PNs enabled btw, yet I still get pestered to turn them on!

Note: It seems to ask daily too, so if you here one day and say No, it asks you the next time you visit.

I am sure it asked me yesterday but I already had to say No again today.

2 step autherntication is bad enough without forum asking same question every visit. Who wants that?

So, I'm not sure if you're saying it's that way by design and nothing can be done about it, or that something isn't as it should be?

I am saying it shouldn't be like that at all. It should remember what you said once and not ask again.

I don't think they intended to turn on that feature. So it should stop.

So it has nothing to do with my using Incognito mode in Chrome?

If you normally do it that way, and it hadn't happened before, then it probably is caused by the change here.

Did it happen today? I haven't been asked today so maybe its off now?

It's been happening every day since it started, and more than once a day if I log back in.

Someone stated some features were turned on that weren't intended. Its a weekend so it might be on now until Monday.

@CParsons is this one of the features that was turned on in accident?

It's a cookie, so if you're using Incognito Mode, it's always going to ask because IM blocks those once the session is closed.

It's enabled by default, we just never disabled it. So not exactly an accident. It's just like most other features and settings however. If you say Never Ask Me again, it's not going to ask again but if you do something like clear your browser cookies and cache on exit, use Incognito Mode, and have certain script blockers it's going to ask again. Using those things means you're removing the cookie that would have been set when it asked the first time around, so it has no idea it ever even asked you the first time around.
