Remove Bousthane.com Notifications and Pop-Ups

Bousthane.com is a fake website whose creators have set it up to try and lure users into a harmless scam. The goal of the scam, which this page hosts, is to hijack your browser notifications. Typically, hijacking sounds like a dangerous thing to encounter but, thankfully, there is nothing harmful about hijacked browser notifications. However, this does not mean that this is an issue that you should ignore. If Bousthane.com manages to hijack your browser notifications, it will use the feature to spam you with advertisements. Because of the way browser notifications work, you might see Bousthane.com's content regardless if your browser is running or not. Needless to say, this functionality is a 'gold mine' for online con artists who often rely on ad revenue generated through fraudulent schemes.

But how does the hijacking occur? Pages like Bousthane.com often host fake content, which asks the user to perform specific actions. For example, Bousthane.com may ask you to press 'Allow' to watch a video or to confirm that you are not a robot. However, pressing the button will not result in anything of this sort. Instead, all it does is to subscribe you to Bousthane.com's notifications silently.

Since this change does not involve external software or noticeable changes, users might be unaware of how to fix it. Thankfully, the fix is quite simple – you need to stop Bousthane.com's permissions to use notifications.
