Safari Plist Files.

Whilst answering a question on Quora, I managed to click on a suspect link.


One that’s not, seemingly, done me any damage.


But HAS left me with a but of irritating — and obviously spammy — notifications.


I’ve tried tinkering with Safari’s setting, clearing the caches, deleting the history.


Non of which has worked.


How DO I get rid of these unwanted notifications?

(As a thought? You used to be able to deal with this by deleting Safari’s .plist files. I’ve found the Ventura ones — in ~/Library/Safari, they’ve moved since the last time I looked for them! — but which ones do I need to delete, if that’s how I solve the problem?)

Go to Safari's Settings (or Preferences) menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove what you do not want — which is probably everything.


For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Don't allow websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support. Deselecting "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" will prevent those websites from even asking your permission to be harassed by them.
