I don't know what this site wants me to allow, but no thanks.

it also kept redirecting to itself like twice a second to not let me go back.
It's a fake website, probably the result if yma search engine using bad metrics to rank websites. They want you to enable notification access. If you grant it, it'll spam ads in your browser notifications, which is how these trash sites make money.
Hold the back button to go back to whatever search engine results sent you down this trash page
It's a fake website
Figured as much. So it's ad spamming that they're going for.
Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other "warnings" disguised as windows alerts.
Never allow "Send notification" permission for "Bot verification purposes". I heard a new type of fake "Captcha" where you need to execute a script ( with Windows + R and then pressing enter ) that will just execute a script and run malware.
Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys as instructed.
News/articles about it? Curious to read
Not a news article about it but here is a video showing you how it works/what happens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_g9YfnjHQ
Never allow "Send notification" permission for "Bot verification purposes".
Or for any other reason, either.
Not even my bank or other places I trust get to send me push notifications in the wenmb browser.
If you really need to get my attention, and if I have explicitly allowed it , then send me an email.
If a website is redirecting to prevent you using the back button, you can usually right click the back button to jump back several steps at once
I usually closes the tab with the little "x"
Or long-click / long tap the back button.
Its trying to send spam. Report the link to Google Safe Browsing and move on.
My guess is either your location or notifications. I'm guessing the first assuming the site isn't just an outright scam.
its notifications, seen this trick one too many times of downloading Minecraft texture packs on the now en-shit-ified adfly. It will send notifications like every other second and I assume (I blocked notifications by this point) one of the ads is "your computer is infected! call [tech support scammer number] for support"
they would just put mass notifications on you i have fallen for this before
