Sharing is caring!
Aside from checking unwanted applications, these two steps are what I usually do if I notice unexpected website redirection when I am on the internet or whenever my grandpa calls me to fix his computer flooded with notifications and ads.
Browser Notifications
Browser notifications provide updates and alerts to users from the website you are subscribed to but notifications from malicious websites can be even more concerning as they can lead to unwanted traffic or redirect you to harmful websites.
Go to your browser's Notification section in its settings to check the list of all websites that have permission to send you push notifications.
You can also follow the steps here: How to remove suspicious browser notifications on computer
Browser Extension's Permission
Review the installed browser's extension's permission settings to understand what data it can access, what notifications it can display and what behavior will it do (changing your default search engine, how your browser opens a new tab, etc).
Hope this helps!
