Somehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.

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.

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

Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.

There is no problem if you don’t just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.
