Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from streamvideoplayer.co[.]in – it means that you have likely accessed this page at some point and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
