Google is expanding a Chrome safety feature to help you cancel pesky website notifications with a single tap. It’s already available on Pixels and is coming to more Android devices; adding a simple unsubscribe button in the notification so that you can get rid of websites you didn’t mean to subscribe to, like horoscopes or weird facts about ducks (there’s also an undo button in case you actually do still want those weird duck facts).

Google Chrome makes it easier to opt out of annoying notifications on Android
Google Chrome’s one-tap unsubscribe button for spammy notifications is coming to more Android devices, and it can also grant one-time access to your camera or mic.


There’s also an updated Safety Check running in the background to automatically revoke permissions from websites that you haven’t visited in a long time or are otherwise dangerous. You can see the actions taken in the summary panel, which lists other potential security concerns like compromised passwords and suggestions to update software and turn on safe browsing.
Additionally, Chrome now allows you to give one-time access to websites for your mic, camera, and other permissions. So, after you’re done with something like a virtual doctor visit, it automatically revokes the website’s access to your camera.
