Step 1. Open the Settings app on your Android device, tap "Apps," and then tap "See All Apps."
Step 2. Scroll down and select "Chrome" from the list of installed applications.
Step 3. Tap "Permissions," scroll down, and ensure that any unnecessary permissions like Notifications, Background Activity, or Display Over Other Apps are disabled.
Step 4. Go back to the Chrome app info page, tap "Storage and Cache," then tap "Clear Cache."
Step 5. Next, open the Chrome app, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Settings."
Step 6. Scroll down and tap "Site Settings." Swipe down to the Content section, and then select "Pop-ups and Redirects." Make sure the toggle is turned off to block sites from opening new windows.
Step 7. Go back to Site settings, navigate back to the Content section, and then tap "Intrusive Ads." Make sure that intrusive ads are blocked as well.
If Chrome continues to launch automatically after resetting its cache and site settings, a recently installed third-party app may be triggering adware in the background. To resolve this, go to Settings, select Apps, and look through your installed app list for any suspicious apps or utility apps without a recognizable icon or name, and uninstall them immediately. You can also run a device scan using Google Play Protect by opening the Google Play Store, tapping your profile icon, selecting Play Protect, and tapping Scan to identify and remove any malicious software on your device.
