“In an iMessage, a friend sent me a link to a Facebook page. I was on my macbook air. This was a mobile Facebook page link. I clicked it, not realizing. It opened into a browser in google chrome, and something popped up asking me if I wanted notifications. I clicked yes, just wanting the pop-up to go away (… bad choice.) Now, I get Facebook notifications popping up on my desktop in the right hand corner all the time. HOWEVER, in my system preferences > internet accounts, I am not signed in on Facebook, and never have been. In my system preferences > notifications, a Facebook icon does not exist. I never have had it there. Yet the pop-ups keep coming up. I have not found a solution on how to get rid of these yet. Someone, please help!” If you are experiencing a similar scenario, and want to get rid of Facebook notifications on Chrome for desktop, here you can find the solution.
