You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
What’s the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲
It’s the same mentality as people just pressing “Next” in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the “Block” or “Accept” options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it’s a system message.
Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.
Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.
But google are the ones that implemented it first and pushed to have it added to the spec
Just another type of popup I have my ad/script blockers block. As much as I hate that, I hate sites that don’t even let you back the fuck out properly even more.
CBS News, which is often shared on aggregates like this and Reddit, was one of the worst. I’ve had shady scam/porn sites that were easier to go back/close than CBS’s god damn website.
Oh, since I use Firefox is that why I have never seen this ? Good to know .
Firefox supports notifications. What it doesn’t support is PWAs.
A PWA is what Voyager/wefwef is.
Fortunately, I have kept this “feature” disabled since it was introduced to browsers.
I don’t know how does it look like, how does it function, and how annoying it is.
Same, I am yet to find a website notification that is actually useful to me.
I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesn’t list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity 😂
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it’ll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.
I’ve literally never even seen a website notification. I wasn’t aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
- don’t use tiktok
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.
