Step 4: In Content Settings, choose Notifications.
Step 5: At the top of this screen, you will see a toggle button, which allows you to govern if you would like to be asked by websites for notification permission or not. This toggle button gives you two options: Block OR Ask before sending (recommended).
The effect of this toggle button is for all the websites that haven’t asked for permission yet.
