You can block website notifications, cookie notifications, auto-playing videos, cluttered sites, and ads on Chrome to enjoy a less distracting online reading experience. To block website notifications, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Site settings > Notifications and select "Don't allow sites to send notifications". For cookie notifications, use the free I don't care about cookies Chrome extension, which can remove them from most websites. To stop auto-playing videos, use the AutoplayStopper Chrome extension, which prevents videos from playing both audio and video on every site. You can also use Postlight Reader to show only the article you want to read without clutter. Additionally, consider using ad blockers like AdBlocker Ultimate, uBlock Origin, or Ghostery to block display ads, YouTube pre-roll ads, and text ads. Some websites may require payment or alternative forms of support to continue producing content, so allowing specific sites on an allow list can be a good compromise.
