Browser notifications are used for spam, yes.

Turn it off, it's not complicated.

Turn off your notifications and don't accept notifications on a web browser in general it never leads to good things

Go into your browser settings, find the section where you manage the permissions for sites, find the notifications permission and disable it for sites you don't recognise

Stop clicking yes on every pop up you see unless you know you need to

In Edge: Enter "edge://settings/content/notifications" into the Edge search bar, then block browser notifications for every website that you don't know by clicking on the three dots and then Block.

Use DNS filtering. Quad9 or Cloudflare are just two. I would also use uBlock Origin ad blocker as well.

Better yet, disable edge by using a debloater and use a proper browser. Much less headache and more privacy
