When a user visits a website that wants to send notifications, a window appears asking for permission. This is typically a pop-up at the top of the browser window. Users can allow or block notifications from this prompt. If buyvisblog[.]com already shows notifications, it means that it has been allowed to show them.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
When a website asks for permission to show notifications, choose "Block", "Block Notifications", "Deny", or a similar option. Note that legitimate pages never suggest that clicking the "Allow" button is necessary to play a video, download a file, confirm that you are not a robot, etc. Such pages should never be permitted to send notifications.
