No.
Nope. We do not allow that. I'm not even sure where to look.
It happens on WIndows too.

Probably something related to Linkedin.

This happened to me on my laptop! I clicked x. Now I can find out WTH this is.
We found it:
I used the browser console to track the origin of the permission request - in general, that browser popup happens anytime a website tries to make a call to "localhost" (which is your local machine) via a URL like http://localhost. This is the way that websites launch companion apps on your computer, its an intended feature. But obviously we aren't using anything like this so I looked into why its happening. I figured out its because one of the users posted a link to nvidia's website, and their website is serving an invalid thumbnail URL: http://localhost:1313/labs/electronic-design-automation/images/logo_hu_887207057036c9c2.png. The link is in this forum post: https://semiwiki.com/forum/threads/kimi-k3-disrupting-eda.25544/post-101884
I went ahead and edited that link out of the post, now I'm able to load the page without triggering that permission check. I'll look into how to block this from happening in the future since it seems to be alarming people. It is indeed harmless though. No virus.
