Hello @Justice52

Most likely you're seeing those pop-ups because of spam push notifications. Let's remove them:

To remove permission for a malicious website to send notifications in Safari on macOS, follow these steps:

1. Open Safari on your Mac.
2. Click on the Safari menu in the top-left corner of the screen.
3. Select "Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the "Websites" tab at the top of the Preferences window.
5. In the left sidebar, click on "Notifications."
6. Select each website from the list and click on "Remove" to revoke its permission to send notifications.
7. Next, uncheck "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications".
   
   
   

Let me know if you still see those pop-ups.
