First of all: Thank you for new features!

I elected to try the notifications, and the browser (Firefox 108.0.1) made sure I really wanted to it, but the lock doesn't give a cancel option. I see Connection is Secure, and Clear Cookies.

If I go to Settings and search for Notification, I see the control that allows me to cancel it for DU there.
