Bestsecretvideos[.]online overview
It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they host and/or endorse) might be influenced by the visitor's IP address (geolocation).
At the time of research, bestsecretvideos[.]online presented us with a fake video player overlaid by a pop-up instructing how to play it. A different set of instructions below the player stated – "Press 'Allow' to watch the video". If a user is tricked into pressing the "Allow" button, they unintentionally permit bestsecretvideos[.]online to deliver browser notifications.

Browser notification spam in general
We have written about thousands of rogue pages; safetydefender[.]top, thi-tl, befimtiboagop[.]com, and thedilgad[.]top are merely a few of our newest articles.
These sites aim to deceive users into enabling browser notification delivery. Advertisements of this kind endorse deceptive and malicious material. Note that any genuine content encountered through spam notifications is most likely promoted by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing its affiliate programs.
How did bestsecretvideos[.]online gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications (ads) with user permission. Therefore, you have likely granted it by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on the bestsecretvideos[.]online page.
It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use lures (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick visitors into consenting to the browser notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is important to always be selective when permitting websites to display browser notifications. Dubious pages must not be enabled to deliver these ads; instead, their requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser/system can result in suspicious sites being force-opened at random. Should you keep experiencing such redirects, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
