This pop-up keeps popping up every few seconds:“7624037320547353757” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app.

I've been clicking "Don't Allow" because it looks suspicious. How can I resolve this? Thanks!
