OR3XAdobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows
There’s a reason I have my windows configured for do not disturb/focus mode, I can’t say I’ve seen a notification come through that was actually relevant for me. The vast majority of what I’ve seen come through notifications are app spam, and I ain’t got time for that
Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)
Nah, browsers are so much worse, but that’s because most users blindly accept notifications from any sketch website then call and cry to IT because they “got a virus”.
I don’t miss my days supporting end users…
m-p{3}We configured an allowlist of domains allowed to send notifications through our GPOs, everything else is blocked to the end-users. It reduced the amount of calls related to “virus alert” for sure.
kaduFirst thing I do when I open Firefox or Chrome for the first time is go into settings and disable the ability for websites to request notifications permissions
I absolutely hate when Windows will give you a different notification for each email that comes in, then an additional one to tell you “mail has new messages.” Get out of my fucking way!
As far as I can tell outlook will call out the title of the first 3 emails in a minute, then if further emails arrive you get the general message.
Its really just a ‘we are rate limiting our notifications, check your inbox’ message.
