Does it though? I still get asked to opt-in for notifications on websites regularly, including those I've already said no to. A simple opt-in question still makes me answer the question routinely (with the default "Sites can ask to send notifications" setting).
This puts a much higher bar on the notification opt-in game.
And if you accidentally click yes, it even has a section in the 'safety check' section that will have a list of sites sending you too many notifications.
Also, there's another setting where you can toggle between: ask permission, block all; and some other silent blocking them....
I wonder if it remembers my settings better because I have a google account that my chrome is logged into for syncing these things?
