Web notifications

Stay on top of the news all day with the Tribune’s web notifications. We’ll let you know — right in your web browser — when there’s big breaking news happening, and also share our editors’ top picks so you see the best of what the Tribune has to offer.

Our web notifications work on Chrome, Firefox, Safari for Mac, Android and Edge. Press the TURN ON TRIBUNE WEB NOTIFICATIONS button below to enable them on your browser. If you are turning on Tribune web notifications for the first time, your browser will also prompt you for permission to receive notifications from Chicago Tribune – press ALLOW on that prompt.

Note: If you are visiting on a browser like iOS Safari or Internet Explorer which does not support web notifications yet, you won't see the sign-up button above.

Disabling Tribune web notifications

Change your mind? If you've already turned on Tribune web notifications and no longer want to receive them, press the DISABLE TRIBUNE WEB NOTIFICATIONS above.
