To force this update to Calendar without it being rolled out to you yet, you can use this query string parameter: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?new_calendar_opt... EDIT: Apparently it might not save the preference, so you'd need to use this link every time.
Doesn't seem to work on GSuite
It's amazing how my gut reactions to Google announcements have changed over the years. Ten years ago: "Google released a new upgrade to X? Sweet! I wonder what cool stuff they added!" Today: "Google released a new upgrade to X? Ugh. I wonder what features/workflows they broke or removed." Am I just a cynical jerk, or do other people feel this way too?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Launcher is sending you irrelevant notifications about what? Launcher isn't sending you anything it's something else(so turn that off) and you dont need Google's launcher to get calendar notifications and the mere fact that you are asking this says you are confused.
Maps nagging me to confirm I was at specific locations at specific times, news articles I don't want to read, etc. Just now I re-enabled Launcher notifications, and it's notifying me that I can unlock my phone by saying "OK Google". This is common knowledge and not a notification I want or can use, but have no way to disable this irrelevance. Google calendar funnels notifications through the Google App, just like all…
To turn of those location questions open Google Maps->Settings->Notification->Your contributions. Toggle what you want and dont want to be notified about.
People seem to complain about this and not realise for some reason that it could be turned off without having to resort to something as crude as blocking the notification.

I'm biased here, but after Inbox, and after the mobile Calendar apps being upgraded, I was super excited about the web Calendar upgrade. I love it.
(Unfortunately, no, I don't have an example I can demonstrate extemporaneously)

I like Inbox, and I use it...but have you noticed that, stunningly, you can search for things in Inbox and get zero results and then take that same search into _gmail_ and get results?? (Unfortunately, no, I don't have an example I can demonstrate extemporaneously)
The problem with this (and Inbox) is that material design just doesn't translate to a big web browser canvas with a mouse etc. It just feels... bad.

You could turn off those things and you dont need the default Google launcher to get notification(from Google app or whatever). I am here looking at a calendar reminder on my phone and I dont use the Google launcher. To turn of those location questions open Google Maps->Settings->Notification->Your contributions.

Do your calendar notifications come from Google Calendar? Mine don't, and I don't know why.
It's not readily apparent how to disable most of these, so the whole notification is disabled. It's a UI deficiency that could be argued to be a dark pattern.
