Somehow I'm getting chrome facebook notifications on my phone, even when facebook is not open in a chrome tab. How does this work and is it likely to use battery? It's annoying because I also have the facebook app so get duplicate notifications. How does one turn it off?

Try this....

Android

On your Android device, open the Chrome app .
Tap More Settings.
Tap Site Settings Notifications.
Use the blue slider at the top of the screen to turn this feature to Ask first or Blocked.
- Ask first: You’ll receive an alert from Chrome whenever a site wants to show you notifications. This is the default setting.
- Blocked: You won’t see any notifications from websites.

Turn off notifications from some sites

On your Android device, open the Chrome app .
Go to the website you don’t want to receive notifications from.
To the left of the web address, tap Lock .
Next to "Notifications," tap the Down arrow . Choose Allow or Block.
- If you don’t see the setting here, this website can’t send you notifications.

It works via Google Cloud Messaging, and it uses push notifications, so it uses very little battery. A lot of people (myself included) don't use the Facebook app anymore, because using it via the browser is a lot more battery-friendly, and you still get notifications.
