You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
What’s the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲
It’s the same mentality as people just pressing “Next” in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the “Block” or “Accept” options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it’s a system message.
Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.
Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.
But google are the ones that implemented it first and pushed to have it added to the spec
Just another type of popup I have my ad/script blockers block. As much as I hate that, I hate sites that don’t even let you back the fuck out properly even more.
CBS News, which is often shared on aggregates like this and Reddit, was one of the worst. I’ve had shady scam/porn sites that were easier to go back/close than CBS’s god damn website.
Oh, since I use Firefox is that why I have never seen this ? Good to know .
Firefox supports notifications. What it doesn’t support is PWAs.
A PWA is what Voyager/wefwef is.
Fortunately, I have kept this “feature” disabled since it was introduced to browsers.
I don’t know how does it look like, how does it function, and how annoying it is.
Same, I am yet to find a website notification that is actually useful to me.
I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesn’t list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity 😂
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it’ll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.
I’ve literally never even seen a website notification. I wasn’t aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
- don’t use tiktok
- download Firefox
- install Ublock Origin
Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.
ITT: User complains that he doesn’t understand WebApps and bitches at TikTok 🤣.
A web site that installs some JS in your browser (called a “service worker”) that does shit
Web apps and removed? This isn’t the first comment I’ve seen with “removed” randomly in the middle of a sentence. Are mods censoring comments or something?
You have some kind of swear word filter. They said ‘bitches’ or if that also gets censored, the plural of female dogs, but as a verb.
Tik Tok is so awful it’s disheartening that people don’t get it.
I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
I’m probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I’m missing 99% of the content. And it’s hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It’s very isolating
I dont have TT. I also don’t have Snapchat. Therefore, I also don’t have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.
Assuming you have a phone which skies allows you to deny permissions on an app-level, what is preventing you from browsing it? Is it political? Job related (ie your only device is a work device)?
While you can easily let it feed you crap, you have a reasonable ability to tune what the algo feeds you. Unless you really do have a self control issue, which is legit/fair reading to avoid the temptation.
It’s really not. It’s a dumb flagpole that privacy advocates are burning good will on.
What do you mean by notification? Is it an email or an android notification?
I shouldve screenshot it too but it looked like it came from the app and I don’t have any emails from them. It looked real enough that I went to my notification settings to turn it off but I forgot I uninstalled it a while ago. I’m really confused because I didn’t think websites could send notifications through chrome
Open the Chrome menu, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites. Check if you have Tiktok in there, click the site and you’ll see a Clear & reset button. Clicking the button should remove any notifications from the site coming from Chrome.
That shit should be super illegal.
