        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.

    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.

    If a website is redirecting to prevent you using the back button, you can usually right click the back button to jump back several steps at once

    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. It will send notifications like every other second and I assume (I blocked notifications by this point) one of the ads is “your computer is infected! call [tech support scammer number] for support”
