What is Explorer?

Explorer.vg is tied to browser notification spam. The site typically asks for notification permission using fake prompts such as "Click Allow to continue" or "Click Allow to watch video."

After permission is granted, users may receive constant push ads on desktop or mobile, including scam offers and fake update alerts. Remove this permission in browser settings to stop the feed.

This domain was registered 3 months ago through the company NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and ownership information is not publicly available.
