How to revoke permissions granted to greensmallbutterfly.com

What kind of page is greensmallbutterfly[.]com?

Our analysis of greensmallbutterfly[.]com has shown that it is a deceptive website. It tries to lure visitors into enabling push notifications, which can later be exploited to send fake alerts and other misleading messages. These notifications can direct users to other harmful websites. For these reasons, greensmallbutterfly[.]com should not be trusted.

Greensmallbutterfly[.]com in detail

On greensmallbutterfly[.]com, a Flash Player logo and a message instructing visitors to press "Allow" to verify that they are not robots are presented. Alternatively, greensmallbutterfly[.]com can present a fake reCAPTCHA logo and a message saying to click "Allow" to prove that visitors are not robots.

The site suggests that taking this step is required to pass a CAPTCHA. In reality, doing so grants it permission to show notifications. Websites that use clickbait or other deceptive methods to trick visitors into allowing them to send notifications cannot be trusted.

Usually, they exploit this permission to deliver fake messages (e.g., bogus warnings or offers). These notifications often contain links to potentially malicious websites. On these sites, users can be lured into paying for fake or unnecessary products or services, or disclosing personal information (e.g., passwords or credit card details).

Also, websites promoted via deceptive notifications can be used to distribute unwanted or malicious software. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to consent to receive notifications from greensmallbutterfly[.]com and similar websites. If an unreliable site has already been permitted to send notifications, this permission should be revoked.
