You might see unexpected notifications pop up on your computer when you enable site notifications from your web browser. These can pose as random scam or product deal notifications that are meant to tempt you to click on them. You don't normally need to enable site notifications, but to change these settings in Edge you can reference Microsoft's guide: [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/manage-website-notifications-in-microsoft-edge-0c555609-5bf2-479d-a59d-fb30a0b80b2b](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/manage-website-notifications-in-microsoft-edge-0c555609-5bf2-479d-a59d-fb30a0b80b2b)
