Brave Browser Ads

jaxxx · 2018-08-07 23:10:15

Annoying ads for 'Brave Browser' (which I assume to be some sort of VPN type deal, have not looked into it) keeps popping up on my tablet. The strange thing is I'm not even using my web browser, it just pops up at any time even if I'm just scrolling through photos. I haven't downloaded any recent apps or anything like that…

This is the procedure in most cases:
