TLDR; if you don't care about the technical aspect of how Keyword notifications work or aren't a paid subscriber, this long post may not be for you.
💡 Keyword Notification System is setup for paid subscribers. Below are the scenarios.
1️⃣ Live Monitoring in Threat Feeds
🔹 The script watches for new posts in /live-threat-feed-plus-pro-subscribers/ and /live-threat-feed-pro-subscribers-only/.
🔹 If a post contains saved keywords (e.g., “ransomware”, “breach”), it triggers a desktop notification.
🔹 Notifications help subscribers react in real-time to relevant cyber threats.
2️⃣ Duplicate Post Prevention
🔹 Uses a secure hash function to generate a unique ID for each post.
🔹 Prevents multiple notifications for the same post, avoiding spam.
3️⃣ Keyword Customization
🔹 Users can save, edit, and delete their own custom keywords.
🔹 Keywords persist in local storage, ensuring they stay active even after a page refresh.
4️⃣ Auto-Restoration of Last Visited Feed
🔹 Detects whether a user last visited the Pro or Plus feed.
🔹 Ensures they are redirected back to the correct feed upon reopening.
5️⃣ Smart Notification Handling
🔹 If a notification is clicked, the script checks if the feed is already open.
🔹 Instead of opening a duplicate tab, it switches focus to the existing feed tab.
6️⃣ RSS Feed Scanning for Threats
🔹 Monitors Dark Web Informer’s RSS feed for new posts.
🔹 Scans post titles, descriptions, and content for matching keywords.
🔹 Alerts users via browser notifications when a match is found.
7️⃣ Subscription Tier Detection
🔹 Determines if the user is a Plus or Pro member.
🔹 Hides the notification system for non-subscribers.

I'm sure I'm missing something up there...
Some things to note...
Push Notifications will be a future feature. It would be too costly for me to integrate such a feature with a 3rd party vendor. I have one in mind that I want to use for the future.
You must have at least one tab open from Dark Web Informer to get browser notifications. If you don't have a tab open, it won't work. Which is why push notifications would be great.
You can setup keyword notifications by clicking the bell in the lower right corner. It will redirect you to a settings page where you can add, delete, or clear the keywords in bulk.
This was mainly built around desktop and not mobile. Which again comes back to push notifications being nice to have.
Cheers!
