Block Bobshop in notification settings?

Perhaps OT, but it's honestly the real answer for OP.
Firefox may not be as fast as Chrome, but the browser has been great lately. And Ublock just works.

As he said.
System -> Notifications -> Set Chrome to "Off"
You can also change it to only provide notifications within the notification center.

Full uBlock Origin no longer works in current Chrome. If Chrome disabled your extension, you need to choose a replacement. This guide explains what changed and helps you get blocking working again.
Google’s timeline records the key changes:
Lite is not an automatic upgrade of your old extension. Its developer’s comparison explains why results can differ, particularly on sites that resist blocking.

Why uBlock Origin stopped working in Chrome
Full uBlock Origin uses Manifest V2, the extension platform Chrome retired. This is a browser compatibility change; reinstalling the same extension cannot fix it.Google’s timeline records the key changes:
- Chrome 138: Manifest V2 extensions were disabled for regular users, with the option to turn them back on removed in July 2025.
- Chrome 139 onward: Manifest V2 stopped working, including the enterprise policy exception.
- August 31, 2026: the remaining Manifest V2 extensions were removed from the Chrome Web Store.
Choose Lite on Chrome or full uBO on Firefox
Stay on Chrome
Choose uBlock Origin Lite for everyday ad and tracker blocking. It is Raymond Hill’s separate Manifest V3 extension. Current desktop versions also support custom filters and external filter lists.Lite is not an automatic upgrade of your old extension. Its developer’s comparison explains why results can differ, particularly on sites that resist blocking.
Use full uBlock Origin
Choose uBlock Origin on Firefox if you rely on its advanced controls or want its broader filtering capabilities. The project supports Firefox on desktop and Android.
