Have you accidentally enabled notifications for a website in your browser?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

maybe try a specific site that checks your macbook for viruses. i think it’s very wise that you haven’t clicked on that yes

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They are just browser pop ups. It happens when you press ok to enable notifications. Just turn them off lol it’s not a big deal

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

These are notifications from your browser. Go to the notification settings and disable all and any notifications from Safari that you don’t know what they are.

Your Mac is fine.

IKR? the "i ThInK i'V'e bEeN haCkEd!!" posts in r/iPhone would be great entertainment.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

At least add the side loading in the Developer Options & that it is off by default. then people will most likely not mess around with it

At least put it in like Developer Options & that side loading is auto-off, then people will most likely not mess around with it

Honestly if they hid it in developer settings even most “tech savvy” consumers wouldn’t bother. Even when I was on android, I downloaded “cracked” apks only a handful of times. That was usually cause I had not debit or credit card to put on my account as a teen. Now it’s not even worth the time.

just goes on to prove that iphone users are dumb.. not the feature

Just close all the tabs you have open in chrome/safari. These notifications come from sketchy websites, you probably enabled notifications on some random website. After closing all tabs, it will be ok

Man, Safari is so crap. You have to disable all browser notifications to get rid of the issue instead of actually fixing it lmfao

This is false. Just go Safari -> Settings -> Web Sites -> Notifications and any that are set to allow, just change to deny.

Or you can click any in the list, then hit the remove button and that one is then gone completely.

Just a BS browser notification, gotta go in your browsers’ settings and remove or block any shady sites you’ve given permission to show notifications

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

How do people get those "viruses" on Mac? I swear I have never seen one in real life.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The pop up? Sketchy websites for movies, anime, manga, books, etc.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If I got 1p for every time one of these posts appears on my Reddit feed I’d be a billionaire.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

go under safari setting remove the notification and then Block any future website that ask to allow notification just search its there, nothing good will come out from it just block everything

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sooo usually the only reason you get these pop ups is when you visit certain adult sites lol.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

or one of those piracy websites

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Its 100% a real virus 🥶😨

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve never seen settings app with a red notification icon in the alerts before. Looks dodgy as heck.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

At least you know what time it is.

It is time to replace Safari with a much more secure browser, such as Vivaldi or Brave.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

op's been on some special websites

RedFlags to look out for: emojis are usually a dead giveaway along with -> Click here

Fellow New Hampshire resident spotted?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Go into Safari or whatever browser you use, Command C (open preferences) and then find notifications and remove access from all the sketchy websites
