Onrussia.info

Posted: July 27, 2020

Onrussia.info is a misleading site you may see in your browser while browsing shady sites such as the ones responsible for hosting adult videos, sports streams or pirated media and software. Many users might fall for the tactic found on Onrussia.info because the page simply claims that the users have to confirm that they are not a robot by clicking 'Allow' – however, following Onrussia.info's instructions will not result in passing any checks and, instead, it will enable the page's notifications. Once Onrussia.info is permitted to use notifications, it will begin to deliver unwanted advertisements in your Web browser by abusing the notifications feature.

Needless to say, a page that engages in such shady practices will not deliver reliable content via the notifications – instead, it may focus on propagating shady products and services or other online cons.

If you see an overwhelming number of browser notifications with an unknown origin, then you should identify the website causing the problem, and remove its ability to use notifications. This task can be completed through the Web browser's settings panel.
