Re: [OT] Spam Tabs in Browser

I haven't seen those on clean pages but I've had those on before on a
few "content providers of questionable legality". What a lot of sites do
is add a invisible box in front of the whole page which links to an
advertisment pop up. Maybe one of the embeded advertisments is able to
use that technique.

I don't think it's a virus or a rouge extention since it's happening on
both your phone and PC. Maybe someone else might have a better Idea
