Many users might mistake this prompt for a legitimate one, but you can rest assured that the robot check found on Throposehodger.pro is not a valid one.

Needless to say, a shady website like Throposehodger.pro will not use your notifications to provide important updates – it will abuse them to promote paid advertisements and affiliate links or other irrelevant content that is meant to generate revenue for the Throposehodger.pro's administrator. It goes without saying that you should never give random websites permissions to access your Web browser's features.
