Desktop Pop Up Notification When the Song Changes Submitted by farizaulian on 2017-04-20 06:43 AM Dear Spotify, can we have an option to show a notification when the song changes?
I'm getting Pop Ads via Google Chrome / Safari / Firefox. I have iMac & I've never had pop up problems w/ Mac before, I've been using Mac for a few years. When I click a link, it redirects me to a pop up first. My settings on Chrome Safari and Firefox are set to 'Do not allow any site to show pop-ups.' However, they are still popping up. Here, open Notifications. Under Sites, deselect ytmp3.cc. Disable app permissions: Go to Settings app, then click Notifications. Browse the Notifications list, open specific apps that annoy you, and toggle off Allow Notifications bar by clicking on it. Remove Ytmp3.cc virus from Mac & Windows. Ytmp3.com removal on Mac or Windows is simple. EZBlocker is a simple-to-use ad blocker/muter for Spotify. EZBlocker will attempt to block ads on Spotify from loading.
