In an earlier article I posted how to How to Disable Windows Volume Popup, but that required a small 300 KB program to be installed.

In my opinion the real-offensive element is actually the browser notification banner that gets attached to the media control popup. This is what I mean:

Both Chrome and Firefox notification banner attaches to this volume popup. Disable it like this:

Chrome

  1. In Chrome address bar, type chrome://flags/
  2. Then find the setting Hardware Media Key Handling and set it to Disabled.
Hardware Media Key Handling set to Disabled

Firefox

  1. In Firefox address bar, type about:config
  2. Then set media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled to false

Enjoy just the volume control bar without the ugly offensive banner!
