Google's web browser Chrome gives you an option to turn on notifications every time you visit a website. It also provides an option of turning on notifications for reminders, apps and extensions.

Sometimes, a user may click ‘yes’ by mistake when the pop-up asks if one wants to turn on notifications for a particular website.

These notifications keep on popping up on screens all the time and it gets annoying after a while. 

Although browsing in incognito mode doesn't show notifications, how do we turn them off?
