How to Block Web Push Notifications In Chrome/Firefox/Opera

For some time now, more and more websites have been asking if we want to receive push notifications on the desktop.

The problem is that when one website asks, I refuse, after a moment the next page asks the same question and the next one...

A lot of people including me, do not want to be constantly asked about this permission. Web push notifications are annoying the same as asking for them.

So far, I have not given web push permission to any website and I will never give such permission.

I would like the popup request for web push permission not to be shown and request automatically denied or ignored.

Fortunately, it can be done quite simply.
