Hello, recently I just saw I have "app.zoom.us" is showing under my Notifications setting. My laptop is 9 months old. I never used Zoom. I don't even have a Zoom account. In the Notifications list it shows a Safari icon. I don't have any extensions installed in Safari because I don't even use Safari.

I was curious if this is installed by the system by default? Do you have it?

gymrat2k has it — web push notifications live per-origin in WebKit's storage regardless of whether Safari is your default browser. Even opening a Zoom meeting link once and clicking "Allow" on that little permission chip parks the permission there permanently.

Two places to nuke it: System Settings > Notifications, scroll to app.zoom.us in the app list and hit Delete (that revokes it at the OS level). Then in Safari > Settings > Websites > Notifications, remove app.zoom.us so it can't re-prompt. The Safari icon in Notification Center is just how macOS tags any Web Push origin.
