Also, while legitimate sites love to push web notifications to remind readers of their existence, attackers can also use them to send phishing attacks or prompt users to download malware if they get users to give them permission. Even if there are some sites - and those are mostly news sites - that may offer some value in their notifications, I can’t remember the last time I accepted one on purpose. At this point, they have mostly become a nuisance.
Starting with the next version of Chrome, Google will introduce a new ML model that will silence many of these notification permission prompts.
Google today announced a set of new and updated security features for Chrome, almost all of which rely on machine learning (ML) models, as well as a couple of nifty new ML-based features that aim to make browsing the web a bit easier, including a new feature that will suppress notification permission prompts when its algorithm thinks you’re unlikely to accept them.
