First, I know nothing about Chrome, so I can only
answer for FF.
The setting shown for Firefox at your link, in the
Privacy/Security section, only exists in FF 59+, but
the about:config setting is still available:
dom.webnotifications.enabled false
Also:
services.push.enabled false
While you're there, you might want to check the
following settings, if they exist. Note that there's an
ongoing trend toward "push", to commercialize the
Internet and turn your browser into a kind of interactive
TV set that leaks your personal data. Push refers to the
website as aggressor, deciding to send you data at
their discretion, as opposed to pull, which refers to the
traditional design: You visit a website, ask for data,
and the website gives you the files you ask for. It's
the difference between a store having a phone number vs
the store making spam calls to your phone.
The more you want interactive and push
services, the more you must allow your data to be
leaked. For instance, you can't find the nearest Chinese
restaurant on your phone if an app is not allowed to
track exactly where you are. And the addityional cost
of that is likely to be push ads for naother restaurant.
If you want privacy and
security it's important to keep up with the increasing data
leakage. Adjusting these settings also helps to break the
functionality of "push" in general. Push usefulness is limited
if a website doesn't know who you are.
geo.wifi.logging.enabled false
(Allow logging of location tracking data.)
geo.enabled false
(Allow sites to track your location.)
Browser.send.pings false

to other sites when you click a link. This is an invisible
version of the trick sites like Google already do by
making their links go through their own server, along
with ID codes.)
dom.enable_performance false
(Allow sites to track loading performance and
thereby deduce info about your device.)
Dom.storage.enabled false
(This is so-called supercookies. But note that some
sites may require it to work.)
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled false
(Allow a website to track copy/paste actions on
their webpage.)
WebRTC settings - below. ("Real time communication"
that allows tracking your computer camera,
microphone, etc. as well as enabling direct
data exchange with a website via script.)
