[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1942769, member: 190607"] Apple made the unfortunate choice of allowing notifications that come from Web sites that you have visited to appear in the Mac OS's Notification Center. The result is that your Notification Center can become full of annoying notifications that you aren't interested in. Some can even be (and have been) phishing scams that try to scare you into thinking that you are infected with malware when you are not. Fortunately, you can turn these notifications off in your Web browser. Here is how to turn them off if you use Safari as your Web browser: In Safari —> Safari menu —> Preferences (or settings) --> Websites tab --> Notifications (in left column) —> deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications” For more info: [URL='https://tidbits.com/2023/06/26/how-to-identify-and-eliminate-abusive-web-notifications/']How to Identify and Eliminate Abusive Web Notifications - TidBITS[/URL] [URL='https://www.macworld.com/article/2291815/safari-malware-pop-up-settings-website-notifications.html']https://www.macworld.com/article/2110589/block-unwanted-website-notifications-mac.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
