@bobbee trust who you want to trust, don't matter to me, but MX isn't the one who created your pop up issue its one of the many things that came from people you trust.
I get that, It could be that some software slipped something in on an update. I'm not blaming MX and thinking back, my original post could have been better worded.
1. you need to identify which browser it comes from (it can be only from a browser it's running at the moment)
2. in the browser settings you need to eliminate sites that can send you messages, for example in Chrome:
At the top right, click More and then Settings.
Under "Privacy and security," click Site settings.
Click Notifications.
Choose to block or allow notifications:
Allow or Block all: Turn on or off Sites can ask to send notifications.
Block a site: Next to "Block," click Add. Enter the site and click Add.
Allow a site: Next to "Allow," click Add. Enter the site and click Add.
Allow quieter notification prompts: Allow sites to ask to send notifications, then click Use quieter messaging (blocks notification prompts from interrupting you). You won't get notifications after you ignore multiple notifications from a site, or if other users typically don't allow notifications from a site.

The bluish weird notification theme? Have you tried changing the notify theme from xfce notification settings and test with "preview" button?
Can you post:
apt list | grep dunst
apt list | grep xfce4-notifyd

I think that I'm missing the first couple instructions, I don't know where that menu is.
I do have the notifier properties. I have some screen caps.
Please don't post images of text, copy the text and paste it inside code tags. Text can be searched by others looking for solutions to similar problems, images can't.

After reading this again, I see that it is for the browser settings.
My menus are a bit different from chrome. I don't see that particular setting in my browsers.
It did give me an Idea and I did a search. on the whisker menu for MK and there is an app to "Customize Notifications"
That is handy. It won't let me enable history, it is greyed out, but I can do some nice customize and turn things on and off.
Now I can turn some off and figure it out.

Nothing should have slipped anything as an update from the MX repos that would cause this to happen.
If any update came down from something you manually (or added an external repo) installed or through added config files and scripts than that’s a different story, and than that goes back to my other post.
These things happen when people use external software or add external config files and scripts without actually knowing what they do. You can’t just trust what someone says it/they will do on a website or YouTube.
Trust but verify... the only way to verify is to actually review the code.
