Android phone + Chrome for search engine + too many fox news alerts.

Is there a way for a slow brained android user to limit tbe fox alerts on Chrome? Getting annoying.

Sounds like you let FoxNews.com send you notifications. ManiacJoe Nov 2018 #5

Seriously, I have an Android with chrome and I never get fox alerts. Go through your settings, looking for the word “fox” - you’ll find it somewhere, have patience- and delete it.

Delete foxnews.com from the "allowed" list.
