NoBasicSomehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.
Tag365How does that even work? Is it even possible to do that on mobile?
Many websites seem to ask to give me notifications these days
Tik Tok is so awful itās disheartening that people donāt get it.
saltI hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
Iām probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because Iām missing 99% of the content. And itās hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. Itās very isolating
OverzeetopAssuming you have a phone which skies you to deny permissions on an app-level, what is preventing you from browsing it? Is it political? Job related (ie your only device is a work device)?
While you can easily let it feed you crap, you have a reasonable ability to tune what the algo feeds you. Unless you really do have a self control issue, which is legit/fair reading to avoid the temptation.
I dont have TT. I also donāt have Snapchat. Therefore, I also donāt have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.
I didnāt install it on my new phone and itmakes me feel like something is missing. That algorithm is so damn addictive. Also miss the recipes on there.
Itās really not. Itās a dumb flagpole that privacy advocates are burning good will on.
Holy mixed metaphors Batman.
Fuck off
Sign up to Anonaddy, instead of giving out your real email addresses use aliases.
That way when companies pull this shit you just deactivate the alias.
Wow, I had no idea this existed. Ty
There is also Simplelogin. I use both since you get a limited number of aliases in their free tiers.
What do you mean by notification? Is it an email or an android notification?
I shouldve screenshot it too but it looked like it came from the app and I donāt have any emails from them. It looked real enough that I went to my notification settings to turn it off but I forgot I uninstalled it a while ago. Iām really confused because I didnāt think websites could send notifications through chrome
gkdSo I donāt know how this works on Android, but maybe you can try re-installing the app? On iOS the push token changes for each install of the app. Super weird that can happenā¦
websites can indeed send you notifications but it you get asked and also you can turn those off somewhere
theyawnerOpen the Chrome menu, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites. Check if you have Tiktok in there, click the site and youāll see a button Clear & reset button. Clicking the button should remove any notifications from the site coming from Chrome.
This is Da wae
YoBuckStopsHereHere is the answer! Lemmy give you an upvote!
Holy 54 tabs batman!
May as well put my phoneās ram to use!
You can always download more RAM.

Daaaaang, I thought I was hot schmidt with 88 tabs
When you have achieved true enlightenment, you will only ever need one tab:
Not even on the private browser. Absolute gentleman.
PupBirui found out recently that ios safari has a limit of 500 tabs :( i was not happy!
Good god what could possibly be in all those tabs!?
Those are rookie numbers, Iāve got 88 tabs
Firefox's website puts me at "ā". I think that's what they put if you're above 100.
Did you see Nihilās screenshot? Holy hell
New tab just dropped
vyvanseDonāt ask me how I know the safari tab limit is 500
right? itās so annoying and such a ābut whyā moment
danIāve got around 300 open on my phone (Firefox for Android) and 1400 on my work PC (Firefox on Windows)ā¦ I need to close the one day. Some might have important stuff open in them though!
starmanYou should check out bookmarks
I have a Pinboard account I use for bookmarks (joined when it was just a once-off fee to join) but I want to move to something self-hosted at some point. I like having a web UI with full-text search for bookmarks, and being able to use the same bookmarks list across browsers and devices.
Agility0971Dude. Just close them
Time to click āOKā I guess:
At that point isnāt it just as quick to search through your history?
My friend you need onetab
theneverfoxOne tab literally takes multiple minutes to stash my tabs because I have so manyā¦ I do like knowing that my tabs could theoretically be searched and I could find them, so occasionally I use it to close windows instead of going through them first
One of these days I want to make a tab bookmarker that will handle sites with comics/novelsā¦I donāt care about the history with those, I just open tabs for stuff Iād like to read, and keep tabs to save my place when I switch works (eventually I recognize Iām not going to finish them anytime soon and close them)
I also open windows when I research a new topic, so I can probably do something with that too
You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
Step 1: duckduckgo
Step 2: set fire to the entire browser. Burn it down.
Step 3: stahp going to those places which make you burn it all down.
Step 3: stahp going to those places which make you burn it all down.
I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesnāt list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity š
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and itāll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.
sudoIāve literally never even seen a website notification. I wasnāt aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
- donāt use tiktok
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.
So you know if there is a way to disable these website notifications on Firefox?
Yes, in settings->site permisisons, you can change notifications from ask to allow to block.
Perfect! Thank you for that!! š
EeeDawg101Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
Iāve done tech support for a few elder relatives, and most of them have a wall of browser notifications to a bunch of random crap, because they say yes to every popup that appears š¤¦āāļø
Itās pretty concerning that their first reaction to a random question is yesā¦
š° š š± š¦ š³ š¦ š° š® šJust another type of popup I have my ad/script blockers block. As much as I hate that, I hate sites that donāt even let you back the fuck out properly even more.
CBS News, which is often shared on aggregates like this and Reddit, was one of the worst. Iāve had shady scam/porn sites that were easier to go back/close than CBSās god damn website.
Theyāre useful in some cases. I used to use the Twitter website (PWA) and it was nice to get notifications without having to install the full bloated app.
Whatās the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? š²
