Chrome Notifications Allowed, but a Site Never Alerts You?
Check the site permission, Chrome’s removed-permissions list, and whether the site actually sent an alert.
Open the site in Chrome and check its notification permission. Then review Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Notifications and Safety Check’s removed permissions. If the site is allowed, send a test alert from the service and check operating-system notification settings.
Separate a missing message from a hidden notification
Open the website itself and see whether the message exists there. If it does not, the service may not have sent an alert. If it does, check Chrome’s site permission and the computer’s notification center. This avoids repeatedly changing Chrome when the service’s own alert preferences are off.
- Verify the site account has that type of notification enabled.
- Check whether Chrome shows the site as allowed or blocked.
- Send one test alert if the service provides a test button.
Look for a permission that Chrome removed
Google says Chrome may remove notification permission for a site you have not visited in a while. Safety Check shows permissions removed for unused sites. Revisit the site and grant its notification permission again if you still want alerts from it. Chrome can also restrict notifications from sites it marks abusive or misleading.
Keep the change limited to the site you recognize. A browser permission cannot force a website to send an alert that the account has disabled.
Check the computer after the site is allowed
The browser must be permitted to show notifications in the operating system, and Focus or Do Not Disturb can suppress what you see. Compare another known-working Chrome notification. If both are missing, inspect system notifications; if just one site fails, return to that service’s own alert settings.
After changing any permission, reload the page or reopen the app tab before repeating the test.
