browser developers should be tarred and feathered for allowing this shit to occur and doing nothing about it for however many years websites have been able to send notifications. look what you've done, you fucking assholes. you are responsible for one of the biggest avenues in existence for scamming and exploitation of the world's elderly and less-computer-literate people
at least half the malware service we handle at work is elderly people who received fake virus alerts full-screen on whatever browser and either need us to remove them or called the phone number, paid them $100, and need us to remove the remote control software they installed
this is like 70% of the malware I see at my job. at this point, the first thing I do before running our malware removal software is to open up all the browsers and clear notification permissions.
why don't any browsers have seemingly any spam filtering for this shit? why don't any antimalware tools seem to check for it? utterly infuriating.
