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

    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

    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.

    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 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

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

    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.

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