What can I do if the browser doesn’t support notifications?

1. Try an alternative browser

Having trouble with the default browser even for some minor actions can be extremely unpleasant, which is why perhaps you should try an alternative solution.

We suggest using a browser that gets constant updates and that comes with less to zero error notifications such asOpera One.

You can download Opera One using the button below (it only takes a couple of minutes). You can switch to Opera One from the previous browser similarly easy.

Namely, in the Settings area, you can find a Synchronization option that allows you to import bookmarks, pages, and other data from your default browser.

As for notifications, by default, Opera One asks you if you’d like a site to send them. You can choose to allow or deny notifications to be displayed. Opera One also comes with features, such as VPN, Ad Blocker and AI.

Opera One

To manage desktop notifications in Opera One, do the following:

2. Make sure your notification browser settings are set up properly

3. Change notification settings
