    Give it a try again and see if it gets rid of that top popup. I never get notification requests like that.

    The subscribe one will probably still be there though.

      Well, shit! I just installed it on a secondary, clean browser and did a before and after. What do you know? No popup when using Ghostery!

      Now I have to figure out if it’s a list that isn’t enabled in the other blockers, or if they just suck. LOL

        I think it’s just the way the extension works. Not really a list, but the extension is designed to click the decline link on anything that would lead to setting tracking cookies, like those notification requests.

        Either way, I’m glad it worked!

          An interesting thing to note is that I’m also seeing that my browser is asking whether to allow notifications from the site or not, rather than the site asking directly.

          I’ll have to do more testing. Ideally, I’d like to only use Adguard, since that’s what I use across multiple devices. I’m sure I can find the filter list/settings that produce the same result as Ghostery… hopefully. LOL

              Yes, it can be disabled, but what I’m saying is that with my previous addon setup, the browser message didn’t even show up - only the website gave this popup about receiving notifications. In hindsight, it seems like broken browser behaviour, and it’s working as it should now.
