On the Notifications page you will then see a list of sites that you have allowed or you have blocked. If you want to change the settings for a particular site you can click on the three dots in the right hand column and choose if you want to Block, Edit or Remove the notification.
If you want to add or block a particular site just click ADD in the right hand column and type in the URL of the site you want or do not want to receive notifications from.
To block all sites turn the blue slider in the top right hand corner to on, so telling the browser to Ask before sending (recommended).
