McAfee Labs reports a sharp decline in deceptive push notifications affecting Microsoft Edge users on Windows, crediting two browser changes: blocking notification authorization prompts on sites known for deceptive behavior and providing a quick per-site option to disable unwanted notifications from the toast UI.
