Now you can mute notifications from the quick settings.

If you need to customize the time, you can go to the notifications settings and set the options as desired.

Quick Options

You will find a few options in the quick settings to check your history, downloads, and bookmarks. Along will that, you will find quick access to print a page and to our support page at any time. Just click on the options to start.

You can select what Google/Microsoft apps and extensions you want to show up at the top right corner of Shift for easy access. Head to the quick settings, then scroll down to Google/Microsoft apps and a page containing a list of apps will open. Choose the apps as per your preferences.
