How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Do not trust websites instructing you to click the "Allow" (or similar) button to play a video, download a file, prove that you are not a robot, confirm your age, etc. Close such pages or click the "Block" (or "Block Notifications") button.
