How can I allow notifications from one website but not others?

First decide what you want the permission to do for you. Ask: Do I need timely alerts from this particular site? Which alerts would be useful, and how often would I tolerate them? If you cannot name a practical benefit, leave the site unapproved for now. A site asking for permission is not, by itself, a reason to allow it.

Then identify the exact site you mean. A browser stores permissions against a site entry, so check the address of the page you intend to allow rather than assuming that all pages with a similar name are the same. The controls described here apply to desktop Chrome and Firefox; labels and steps may differ in other browsers or on phones. The supplied browser guidance does not establish whether any particular site genuinely needs notifications or how often it will send them.

Open the chosen site in Chrome. Select the site-information control beside the address, open Site settings, and change that site’s Notifications permission. Chrome saves site-setting changes automatically, and its site permissions can be adjusted individually without changing the defaults for other sites [S2].

Before leaving the settings, make sure you are changing the entry for the intended site. Avoid changing a browser-wide default if your goal is to affect only one website. For example, if you want alerts from [chosen site] but not [another site], open [chosen site] and change its site permission; then review [another site] separately if you want to check its status. Those bracketed names are placeholders, not real sites or a claim about either site’s behavior.

In Firefox, you can manage an individual site’s Send Notifications permission through its Page Info Permissions tab, choosing Always Ask, Allow, or Block. You can also review site statuses in Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Notifications [S1].

If you previously allowed a site and want to revoke that saved choice, Firefox lets you remove the site’s entry; that permits it to ask again. Choosing Block instead prevents that site from requesting permission again [S1]. Pick based on what you want next: use the option that allows another decision if you may reconsider, or the blocking option if you do not want that site to ask again. These are Firefox-specific controls; do not assume the same labels exist in another browser.

Example plan: “Allow alerts from [chosen site] because I want its updates. Leave [other site] unapproved. If I change my mind in Firefox, remove its saved entry to let it ask again, or choose Block to prevent it asking again.” The bracketed text is a fill-in template, not a report about actual sites.

After changing the permission, revisit that site’s settings to confirm the intended entry and choice. Firefox notes that a permitted site can use push to update data in the background even when it does not show a notification [S1]. That is a reason to grant permission selectively, not evidence that a specific site will perform a particular action. The cited guidance does not establish a site’s trustworthiness, notification frequency, or data practices. If the browser or device differs from the desktop instructions above, look for its own per-site permission controls rather than relying on these exact menu names.
