This endorsement is most likely undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Should you stumble upon a dubious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny the notification request (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (adware).
