  "description": "Users are being tricked into enabling unwanted browser notifications through quiz websites. These sites challenge visitors with quizzes on various topics, but their main goal is to get users to click 'Start the quiz' button. This action triggers a misleading prompt that tricks users into allowing notifications. Once enabled, these notifications can display advertisements, scams, or unwanted downloads even when the user is not on the original website. The article provides instructions on how to remove and block web push notifications across different browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari. It also lists several domains associated with this deceptive campaign.",
