Online tactics do not always aim to get you to download malware or collect your data, such as credit card data or login credentials. Often, the goal of the fraudsters might be more innocent – such as granting a random website the ability to use your Web browser's notifications. This is the strategy that Nalsmoles.fun's creators are following. Their website is being promoted via online advertisements and pop-ups, and it tells visitors to 'Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!' However, granting this simple request has nothing to do with an anti-robot check and, instead, the button is meant to allow Nalsmoles.fun to use your Web browser notifications.

Once the page has been granted the permissions it asks for, it may begin to spam you with advertisements, which will show up as notifications. Because of this, you may end up encountering Nalsmoles.fun's advertisements on any website you visit. A website that engages in such behavior will not deliver reliable advertisements – it is not uncommon for the Nalsmoles. It is fun notifications to lead users to non-trustworthy websites and content.

Suppose intrusive notifications are plaguing your Web browser. In that case, you should try to identify the website bringing this content to your attention – usually, its URL can be found in the notifications panel. Once you have identified the culprit, you should load your browser's settings menu and remove the intrusive page's ability to use notifications.
