it also kept redirecting to itself like twice a second to not let me go back.
Never allow “Send notification” permission for “Bot verification purposes”. I heard a new type of fake “Captcha” where you need to execute a script ( with Windows + R and then pressing enter ) that will just execute a script and run malware.
Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys do as instructed.
News/articles about it? Curious to read
Not a news article about it but here is a video showing you how it works/what happens www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_g9YfnjHQ

Or for any other reason, either.
Not even my bank or other places I trust get to send me push notifications in the wenmb browser.
If you really need to get my attention, and if I have explicitly allowed it , then send me an email.
My guess is either your location or notifications. I’m guessing the first assuming the site isn’t just an outright scam.
its notifications, seen this trick one too many times of downloading Minecraft texture packs on the now en-shit-ified adfly
Its trying to send spam. Report the link to Google Safe Browsing and move on.
they would just put mass notifications on you i have fallen for this before
You censored your extensions…?
?
I censored the url.
My bad. The blockiness confused my eyeballs
Pity. I would kind of like to know what the scam website is.

Figured as much. So it’s ad spamming that they’re going for.

Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other “warnings” disguised as windows alerts.
