Chrome pop-out. Help?

I enjoy how we can help each other, in photography and many other ways too. This is one of those "other ways".

I'm using an iMac with High Sierra, although I doubt the OS has much to do with it. I also use Chrome, and prefer it over others for the Apple. But about two weeks ago, I'm getting a nuisance top-right corner pop-out with the Chrome logo in it. Right now it says "Search For Car Donation", below on line two: freshbreakingnews.com" and below that "#Yahoo! Search".

I've reduced the size of my browser, so that it doesn't cover the corner where I would click the + sign for a new tab. To make matters worse (and here is where I'll appreciate your help), as I continue to teach remotely from home, I want my students to send me e-mail, at any time, to ask questions. Now my e-mail client (?) pushes out a similar top-corner notice, informing me of a new e-mail. I welcome that one. But with Chrome's thing staying on top, I must stop anything I'm doing on my browser until the e-mail notification retracts. I'd really like to get rid of the above mentioned Chrome constant and ever present pop-out. I've searched the Internet, but multiple attempts on 'settings' and things have not solved the problem. Any of you experience this too?

Elliott,
Another way is to go into notifications and remove the ones you don't want to be notified of...

Try the Brave browser - based on Chrome engine but blocks all the rubbish

Thanks. I do hope to find a way to get that damn upper screen pop out off my computer. It is making it more difficult to help my students.

I've tried the suggestions, so far. No solution working yet.

Elliott,
I have an iMac running Catalina, in the notifications in system preferences, this opens to this screen; You select the app then click on none then there will be no notifications from that app...

Busbum, you have a much newer OS than I have. But I found Notifications, and clicked everything to off. Keeping my fingers crossed and thanks.
