About this tag
Quiet requests in Microsoft Edge reduce notification prompt distractions by automatically suppressing permission requests for sites users are unlikely to engage with. Based on user feedback, Edge introduced quiet notification requests to minimize interruptions while still allowing important notifications from trusted sites. The feature learns from user behavior to show full prompts only for sites where notifications are desired, keeping others quiet. This approach balances user focus with the need for timely alerts from calendar apps, media subscriptions, and similar services. The tag covers Microsoft Edge's ongoing improvements to notification and badging systems, focusing on reducing annoyance without missing critical updates.
