Dizans.live pop-up advertisements, in contrast, have a deal with less legit websites. You will commonly observe the proposition to enable them after a redirection from another page. Redirects are OK unless it throws you to such a dubious place. At that point, turning on pop-up advertisements is served under the guise of the anti-DDoS check. Alternatively, the sites may refuse to show you the contents unless you enable these pop-up notifications. These theses should raise suspicion, as sites usually feature a more convenient anti-bot mechanism. Seeing this demand should be the reason to close the website doubtlessly. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not get to the web page – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.

As a result, you may see the push notification from site X, but clicking it will direct you to website Y – because a link to the latter was added.
