Desktopnotificationsonline.com is not a website that users are likely to open intentionally. The page doesn't aim to provide useful or convenient services to its visitors. Instead, it is solely dedicated to the propagation of a popular browser-based tactic. When Desktopnotificationsonline.com is opened, it will display various clickbait or misleading messages designed to trick users into unknowingly subscribing to its push notification services.

One potential example of such behavior involves the site showing an image of a robot and a message similar to - 'Click "Allow" if you are not a robot.' The implication is that to access the actual content of the site, users must pass a CAPTCHA check. Of course, this is all a ruse as there is no additional content. Instead, users will give important browser permissions to the deceptive page as part of the push notifications feature.

In practice, this will manifest in an increase in the advertisements encountered while browsing, as Desktopnotificationsonline.com will begin running an intrusive ad campaign. The advertisements should be treated as being equally as untrustworthy as the site itself. They could cause redirects to more dubious pages, shady betting platforms, suspicious adult websites and more.
