- scarface74 4y agoToms Hardware does or at least did use web notifications for advertising. I believe PCWorld did also.
- Operative0198 4y agoOh okay. Missed the joke. Killing off the notifications feature on the account of a few rogue actors doesn't seem like a reasonable measure. Though ironically even if we are to take your example, I would consider advertising in this scenario to be harmless compared to receiving malicious phishing links in your notifications. I believe those 2 websites would never stoop that low.
- scarface74 4y agoThey are mostly rogue actors. Almost everyone on the internet tries to monetize via advertising at every opportunity. And they may not purposefully stoop that low. But there are most likely using a third party ad network.
