Helpfully this is something that came up recently with a coworker, here's how you can both check to see who Chrome is allowing to sent alerts and how to remove that permission:

- In the address bar put in "chrome://settings" to go directly to the settings page (you can also click the menu button in the upper right corner and then choose settings)

- On the settings page scroll down to the bottom and click on Advanced to show more settings

- In the new section that shows up, under Privacy and Security click on Site Settings

- In Site Settings click on Notifications, this will show the sites allowed to send notifications as well as any which have been specifically blocked from sending them.

- For any of the listed sites click on the three dot button on the right to bring up a context menu with actions you can take. The choose Block, Edit, or Remove. Edit would be if you realized there was a typo in the url, block is basically "No, I'll never, ever want notifications from this site," while Remove simply removes it from the list.

- You might also see a button that looks sort of like a jigsaw puzzle piece. That shows up if a browser extension is allowing the notifications to take place. There should be a small triangle button to the left of that which will take you to the settings page for that extension.
