Hi,
For the very first time in many years of happily using Debian, I have had today some ads appearing in my Gnome desktop notifications. I don't remember having install anything in particular that could the source of these ads, and I couldn't find where they come from... In particular, I didn't manage to found a log file for Gnome notifications. Anyone has an idea on how I could find the source/reason of these ads in order to remove them ?
Cheers !

Re: Unwanted ads
Never heard of that happening. Did you install any extensions?

Re: Unwanted ads
Could be notifications that you have (inadvertently) enabled from some website.
Have a look at your Notifications permissions in your browser, eg for Firefox they are in the Privacy & Security settings.

Thanks for your quick answers!
@canci: No I didn't as far as I can tell
@h0wefield: Nice advice, I detected one site that was authorized I don't know why (but probably my fault, guess I clicked too quickly on something), turned it off, I hope that was the guilty one!

I haven't seen any new notifications, I guess it was indeed the guilt of the website I unallowed. Marking the thread as solved, thanks again!
