How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you enter a suspicious website – do not permit it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on such pages. Instead, deny notification requests – click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or simply ignore them.
