    Webpage suddenly redirects to advert page all by itself? Galaxy S9+

    So I did have some time to do a little testing around in safe mode, going to the websites that I seem to remember I had the most issues with getting sent to other pages mid-read and the problem still seems to occur. Does this mean something is wrong with my phone like I think maybe methodman...

    I removed candy crush, then cleared the partition cache (had to Google a how-to), and the redirect problem still seems to be an issue. Why Is is still doing this? Is my phone/chrome app already hit with a virus or something in the twoish weeks I've had it? And with Avast downloaded plus the...

    I don't have a problem doing this step but I'm curious; is this problem, as well as your suggested solution,.something typical for an unused item straight out of the box ?

    Sorry. I should have been clearer. When i types "on", I meant it's blocking. So It is set to "blocked". Meaning, when when you click on the option it states "blocked", not "allowed". I'm sorry for the bad confusingness in my part. And greatly appreciate the responses. This issue had been...

    <methodman89 Open Chrome Settings, Site Settings, Popups and Redirects. Is it on or off?> It is set to on. So it should be blocking popups and redirects.
