Wildly off topic: this site redirected my mobile chrome to some advertisement with a screen blocking scammy alert and closed all other tabs. What the hell?


I think you have some malware on your device; closing all other tabs isn't something a website should be able to do.


The device rebooted like 10 minutes later so I'm breaking the tinfoil hat out. Anyone got good advice on how to handle possible infection on an android phone?


Factory reset


I'm also having this issue, so I can't even view the photos.
