   Google Chrome to Revoke Notification Access for Inactive Sites

   Google is updating Chrome to automatically revoke notification permissions for websites that have not been visited recently. This feature will apply to both desktop and Android versions of the browser. Users will be notified when a site's notification access is removed and can restore permissions through the Safety Check tool or by revisiting the site. The update aims to reduce alert overload and improve user engagement with notifications.
