Special-breaking.news

Posted: November 20, 2020

Special-breaking.news is a Web page that pretends to have the ability to deliver breaking news. However, users who try to visit it may not be welcomed by any news. Instead, they will see a misleading prompt, telling them to click 'Allow' to confirm they are not a robot. This innocent request is not unsafe, but agreeing to it may have different consequences. Instead of passing an anti-robot check, users who click 'Allow' will command their browser to accept notifications originating from Special-breaking.news. However, the website does not use this feature to deliver news updates – its notifications are focused on delivering paid advertisements.

Of course, being interrupted by random notifications while visiting your favorite sites is not a great experience. This is why you should aim to terminate Special-breaking.news notifications as soon as possible. To do this, you would need to reverse the changes made to your browser's configuration. Open the Web browser settings menu, find the 'Site Settings' section, and make sure that Special-breaking.news's permissions to use notifications are disabled.
