Browser notification spam in general
We have examined numerous rogue pages; techadsmecity[.]com, thecanetdesign[.]com, ntmadz[.]com, and news-rujopo[.]com are just some of our newest articles. The purpose of these sites is to deceive visitors into enabling browser notifications. Typically, rogue webpages use various lures, such as fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.
Spam notifications promote online scams and malicious content. While legitimate products or services can be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you happen upon a suspect page – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
