From other sites

Websites can send notifications about news, comments, updates, and other events. Sites usually request permission to send notifications, but sometimes they can do this without permission. In Yandex Browser, you can allow or block notifications from a specific website, or disable notifications from all sites.

The first time you open a site that sends notifications to users, Yandex Browser asks you if you want to allow or block notifications from the site. When notifications are enabled, you can see the  icon in the SmartBox.

Block or allow notifications from the site

In the notification, click   → Prevent <website> from sending notifications.

Prevent sites from suggesting notifications
  1. Click   → Settings → Websites.
  2. Under Requests to send notifications, select Don't show requests.

After that, websites will not offer notifications anymore. Sites that you have already allowed to send notifications will continue sending them. You need to block such notifications for each site individually.
