Has anyone noticed the increased frequency in which websites want you to allow them to notify you? It seems like every site I go to wants me to allow them to notify me, about what I do not know or care so I click no. Does anyone know the cause of this sudden increase in the past few months, did my adblocker stop working properly, or have I just been that oblivious and this has been going on for years?
They've been around for a few years, but were only supported in new browsers, now they reached mainstream. You should be able to block them by default in the browser settings.
