What to do if Gmail notifications aren’t working in Chrome?

1. Try a different browser

If you’re having this issue, it’s advised that you try using a different browser. This is a Chrome issue, so it’s best to use a browser that is based on Chromium engine such as UR Browser.

This browser has the same features as Chrome, so all your Chrome extensions will work. Unlike Chrome, Opera focuses on user privacy and security, as well as being much more customizable.

It comes with a built-in ad blocker, tracking protection, and even a VPN with unlimited traffic.

In addition, there’s a built-in scanner for downloaded files as well as a VPN. If you want a secure and reliable browser that works perfectly with Gmail and its notifications, Opera is the way to go.
