Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue sites; elitedating[.]top, wuhol.co[.]in, gkfzln[.]com – are just a couple of examples. Webpages of this kind deliver browser notifications that typically promote deceptive/malicious content.
While legitimate products and services may be encountered via these adverts – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Sites need user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered the dating4you2[.]top page and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you access a suspicious page – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such sites, i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.
It is pertinent to mention that adware installed on the browser or system can generate spontaneous redirects to questionable websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
