Boo! But fear not, as Chrome is one of the few major Windows apps with fairly useful UI scaling options of its own.

Scale the interfaceĬhrome doesn’t play nice with Windows’ default interface scaling, which sucks when you’re browsing on a display with an exceptionally high or exceptionally low resolution as it means on-screen elements can look too small or too large, respectively. If you want to blacklist the prompts but allow specific sites access, both the Location and Notification sections feature a Manage Exceptions button that allow you to whitelist handpicked pages. The Do not allow any site to track your physical location option does the same for location prompts, but be warned that some websites may not behave as intended if you don’t share your whereabouts. Simply select the Do not allow any site to show notifications option to ban those pesky prompts. You’re looking for the Location and Notifications options in the menu that appears. Click Show advanced settings at the bottom, then the Content settings button in the Privacy section. IDGĬlick the three vertical dots in Chrome’s upper right-hand corner to open the browser’s options, then select Settings. That’s a good thing! But it gets awfully annoying, awfully fast as you wander across the vast expanse of the web, especially if your answer is a uniform “lolnope.” Fortunately you can tell Chrome to quit bugging you with these prompts by automatically declining the requests. Chrome asks permission before it allows websites to access your location or push you notifications.
