it also kept redirecting to itself like twice a second to not let me go back.

It’s a fake website
Figured as much. So it’s ad spamming that they’re going for.
Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other “warnings” disguised as windows alerts.
Never allow “Send notification” permission for “Bot verification purposes”. I heard a new type of fake “Captcha” where you need to execute a script ( with Windows + R and then pressing enter ) that will just execute a script and run malware.
Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys as instructed.
News/articles about it? Curious to read
Not a news article about it but here is a video showing you how it works/what happens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_g9YfnjHQ
If a website is redirecting to prevent you using the back button, you can usually right click the back button to jump back several steps at once
Its trying to send spam. Report the link to Google Safe Browsing and move on.
You censored your extensions…?
?
I censored the url.
My bad. The blockiness confused my eyeballs
Pity. I would kind of like to know what the scam website is.
I’d guess they probably use multiple throwaway domains.
googles for the text shown in OP’s image
Here’s a site that has a screenshot that references one, “allowpush.club”.

That was back in 2022, so I kind of assume that they’re long gone and on other domains now.
EDIT: Yeah. There’s a domain-name squatter there now, and the WHOIS data on that domain shows it only being registered since early 2024, by someone out of Cyprus.
they would just put mass notifications on you i have fallen for this before
My guess is either your location or notifications. I’m guessing the first assuming the site isn’t just an outright scam.
its notifications, seen this trick one too many times of downloading Minecraft texture packs on the now en-shit-ified adfly. It will send notifications like every other second and I assume (I blocked notifications by this point) one of the ads is “your computer is infected! call [tech support scammer number] for support”
