1. Site Notifications
“Site notifications” are a browser feature which is widely misused by advertisers and scammers. It was created to allow sites you visit to send you future “notifications” – for example a social media site might want to tell you you’ve received a message – and they have to ask for your permission to do this. Unfortunately many sites just use the permission you’ve given to bombard you with adverts or even fake warning messages.
