exile360 Posted January 25, 2020 ID:1358502 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Sure, that makes sense, but unfortunately most users aren't even aware of the feature's existence and because of the way it works, aggressive advertisers and scammers can abuse it in ways that make tracking down the source quite difficult (we've even seen instances of the notifications showing up when the user hasn't even launched their browser, making determining the cause of the notifications that much more difficult to determine).

sman Posted January 25, 2020 Author ID:1358503 Share Posted January 25, 2020 @Living_ComputerBut you must know the source of notification to disable permission for the site?? if in case you have allowed notifications for multiple sites, then how do you zero in on the source of malicious notification ?? Any inadvertent permission could be trouble.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and the sites' exploit that fact and the lack of knowledge, by the public at-large, of the consequences of this "this action" will cause "this kind" of result.
