Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I keep getting following every time I open Safari and then I keep clicking on Don't Allow and it will not disappear. It just keeps popping up until I have had enough and close down Safari and work off Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Can someone please help?
“1852951480910191248” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app.

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand a pop up message continues to reappear in Safari, when selecting "Don't Allow." We'll be happy to help.

You'll need to find out what "1852951480910191248" is and remove it. This is not a Safari bug. It is Safari trying to protect you.
Using Microsoft Edge or Firefox will not protect you from 1852951480910191248's tracking.
Try launching Safari with the Shift key held down. That clears out Safari's caches and resets several settings. It often gets rid of adware attached to Safari.
Thank you Nicholas_B2, it worked a treat. Finally got rid of it.
Jaykaitylcorcar,
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for getting back to us and for providing that update. Have a great rest of your day.
Best regards.
Tried to find it but to no avail.
Yes thanks, I did that several times but no luck until I did what Nicholas_52 advised.
