Summary

Note: This Add-on is completely free! Please consider making a small donation (and write me a message) or write an review. Thank you!

Tired of receiving page notifications or being bothered by them asking permission to send notifications? Don't bother with that anymore! The nBother add-on works by blocking the operation of web notifications, and can be activated in the toolbar by clicking on the shield icon, when it is green it is turned on and red turned off. The add-on starts by default enabled, on mobile devices you do not need to open the Add-ons Manager to activate it.

Have a suggestion, requests, doubts or encountered an error? Please open a new issue.

-- Future updates -- As many sites display notification requests to users to be able to send push notifications, Firefox 72.0 + now displays an icon builtin. This Add-on brought that proposal of enabling or not the notifications in a easy way, but now with this new feature in Firefox, I will keep just security updates.

Didn't work. With it activated I still kept getting asked about notifications. What's worse was that nBother itself was actually MORE annoying that the notification requests by keep opening another tab about itself while I was trying to work on another site. Not recommended.

Funciona muito bem! Gostaria de utilizar no meu Firefox para Android também.
