it also kept redirecting to itself like twice a second to not let me go back.

    Never allow “Send notification” permission for “Bot verification purposes”. I heard a new type of fake “Captcha” where you need to execute a script ( with Windows + R and then pressing enter ) that will just execute a script and run malware.

    It’s a fake website, probably the result if yma search engine using bad metrics to rank websites. They want you to enable notification access. If you grant it, it’ll spam ads in your browser notifications, which is how these trash sites make money.

    Hold the back button to go back to whatever search engine results sent you down this trash page

        Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other “warnings” disguised as windows alerts.

    If a website is redirecting to prevent you using the back button, you can usually right click the back button to jump back several steps at once

    My guess is either your location or notifications. I’m guessing the first assuming the site isn’t just an outright scam.

      its notifications, seen this trick one too many times of downloading Minecraft texture packs on the now en-shit-ified adfly. It will send notifications like every other second and I assume (I blocked notifications by this point) one of the ads is “your computer is infected! call [tech support scammer number] for support”
