Some websites will check whether you have notifications enabled and spawn an in-page pop up requesting access before they trigger the actual, native browser request.
So ideally this would stop that from happening.
- jeroenhd 3y agoThe best response to those websites is closing them and blocking them in your DNS blacklist to be honest. Either that, or full their newsletter subscription box with a million fake email addresses.
- halfstep 3y agoYeah that's fair. It feels like we're in an anti-pattern arms race and choosing to not participate is a valid call.
- quickthrower2 3y agoIt is so common that r/assholedesign has a specific rule not to post that kind of asshole design (because it is now boring). But sites that do it are hostile and should just be blocked. What other shenanigans are they pulling?
