Unlocking Click-to-Always-Show in Chrome: A Simple Guide
Have you ever encountered a webpage that forces you to click the "always show" option every time you visit? It's frustrating, isn't it? This article will guide you on how to tell Chrome to automatically select the "always show" option for pop-ups and other website requests.
The Problem:
Many websites, especially those with forms or notifications, require users to click "always show" to avoid repetitive prompts. This can become tedious, especially for frequently visited sites.
The Solution:
Chrome has a built-in feature that lets you automatically select the "always show" option for specific websites. Here's how:
Step 1: Identify the website.
Open the website that you want to enable "always show" for.
Step 2: Access Chrome settings.
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner of your browser window.
- Select "Settings."
Step 3: Navigate to Privacy and Security.
- Scroll down the left-hand menu and click "Privacy and security."
Step 4: Open Site Settings.
- Scroll down to "Site Settings" and click on it.
Step 5: Choose Notifications.
- Within "Site Settings," click on "Notifications."
Step 6: Manage Notifications.
- You will see a list of websites with their notification settings.
- Find the website you want to change.
- Click the "three dots" next to the website's name and select "Allow."
Step 7: Enable "Always show"
- Once you've allowed notifications for the site, you'll see a toggle switch.
- Flip the switch to the "On" position.
That's it! From now on, whenever the website tries to display a pop-up or notification, Chrome will automatically select the "always show" option.
Important Note:
While this feature is helpful, remember that it also allows websites to send you notifications more frequently. Consider carefully before enabling "always show" for any site.
Additional Insights:
- Customizing "Always Show" for Other Settings: The same principle applies to other "always show" options, such as for cookies or pop-up blockers. You can find these settings within the "Site Settings" section.
- Controlling Notifications: You can also manage notifications by disabling them entirely for specific websites or by setting custom notification permissions.
In Conclusion:
This simple guide helps you reclaim control over your browsing experience by preventing repetitive clicks and prompts. Remember, using this feature responsibly can streamline your online interactions.
