Has anyone else noticed that random words are blue and has two lines underneath it? And if you hold your pointer over it without clicking it, you'll see it's some advertisement. I also get these annoying little videos that pop-up for no reason at all.
Is this just me? Anyone else have this going on? If it's just me, I will wipe my PC. It's quite annoying IMO.

The site isn't currently using any sort of advertisements.

My Chrome will get extensions added sometimes. It's a pain. I haven't figured out a way to monitor those. Maybe I need to put avg back.

I had the same issue earlier. It was just an extension that got added somewhere in my browsing. Also, I suggest uBlock Origin.

I have seen a lot of fake browsers out there. Make sure you get it from a legitimate site.

Google added some extensions on mine. I just reset to the original settings and it worked.

Yep never seen those either, but I also use Adblock with Firefox so don't think I'll see them.
