It's the most frustrating new Chrome feature Now it can be disabled this way
Google Chrome continues to update with new features, but some of them can be more annoying than useful. One recent addition is the floating notification that appears when you copy links, images, or even text in future versions.
Although their purpose is to inform the user, these notifications have caused annoyance to those looking for a clean and uninterrupted browsing experience.
Fortunately, although Google doesn’t provide a direct option in the browser settings, there is a simple solution to disable this feature. We’ll walk you through step-by-step how to get rid of these notifications in your browser and improve your user experience, following the tutorial from Windows Latest.
- What are Chrome floating notifications?
Since version 130, Chrome has been displaying a warning when you copy a link or image. While useful on mobile devices, it can be intrusive on computers. These notifications appear as a small floating window at the top of the browser, which is inconsistent with the usual browsing aesthetics on systems like Windows or macOS.
For many users, this not only affects the appearance, but is also unnecessary when performing simple tasks such as copying content. However, there is a way to remove it using advanced browser tools.
Although Chrome doesn’t include an option in its basic settings to manage these notifications, you can disable them using Flags, an advanced section for configuring the browser’s behavior. Follow these steps:
In the address bar, type the following:
chrome://flags/#top-chrome-toasts
Disable it by clicking on the drop-down menu next to this option and select Disabled.
Restart your browser: For the changes to take effect. When you restart, notifications will no longer appear when you copy links or images.
While Chrome's floating notifications may seem like a good idea, many users find them more annoying than helpful. Fortunately, disabling them is a simple process that, in just a few steps, will restore smoothness and cleanliness to your browsing.
