Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen on any browser, or only on a specific browser? Go to Settings>Apps, select the browser, then Storage, then Clear Cache/Clear Data. Now open the browser again and see if you keep getting the redirects.

Also, are the redirects happening regardless of the website you enter, or are they only happening on certain sites?
