    No one in my life understands this. I haaaaate having these notifications. The worst ones are those that can’t be cleared.

      Some sites have started sending them to you before you’ve even done anything!

      Never been to this site before? Don’t worry, chat bubble in the upper corner already displaying a little red dot with a 5 in it. There’s already an AI chatbot trying to offer help and discounts off on things and … AUGH!

        What’s funny is those always make me immediately think the site is a scam of some sort even though they’re everywhere. I get this feeling like I should leave the site as soon as I can

      on android you can hide any of them, all from an app or just the category that annoys you. long press on the notification and tap the cog.

      notifications that can’t be cleared have their place too, formerly apps needed that to be able to keep running in the background. but that still works if you hide that specific notification.
      but google shuffled that up in recent versions because people were complaining who didn’t know notifications can be hidden permanently…
