Have an adware or malicious tracker that is only affecting browsers on my phone (Chrome, Samsung internet). It does not redirect or issue pop-ups, but when visiting sites like Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon; there's a block of ads that appear at the bottom of the page for other stores. These types of ads should not appear on these kind of sites. This appears to be the only issue it causes.
All Play store anti-mals return zero threats as do trojan killers. I've done a cache wipe, safe mode (ads still show), and factory reset (full disclosure I backed up and reinstalled so prob just put the Mal back on). Installed Brave Browser and the ads don't appear
Is there a way to locate the source or options to remove I haven't tried? Any idea is welcome.
Info: This did not come as a result of downloading an app. Only could have come from visiting a site. Have not added any new apps in 2019. All google/YT searches return info that does not address my particular issue
