The change is that websites and apps are now able to send 
notifications.  On the standard web browsers such as Edge, Safari, 
Chrome and Explorer this can only happen with websites if you click 
'Yes' when the website asks if it can send notifications.  I have 
allowed Facebook to send notifications, but said no to all of the other 
websites, and only get Facebook notifications.  Another possibility is 
that you have installed an app where, somewhere deep in the small print 
which you accepted (and which noone reads) , it said that you were 
granting it permission to send notifications from advertisers.  Its not 
clear how this happened on your PC however.

I finally got to the bottom of it.  They were coming in directly 
through Windows 10.  I went to the gear on lower left side of Windows 
and set the notifications to off.  All of them, Facebook everything.  
I have now reclaimed my computer.
