Once this permission is granted, zoniously[.]com bombards users with fraudulent notifications promoting various scams and other untrustworthy web pages.

Zoniously[.]com in detail

On zoniously[.]com, a fake video player with a loading spinner is presented, suggesting that some video is loading. Also, an arrow pointing to a browser pop-up and a message instructing visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots are displayed. This whole scheme is intended to lure visitors into clicking "Allow", allowing the page to show notifications.

Our analysis has revealed that zoniously[.]com can show misleading notifications, including fraudulent notifications encouraging users to remove unnecessary files for better performance. These notifications also indicate that a scan report is ready and urge users to click a button to reveal it.
