    Hey Everyone,
    I was hoping someone could help me with this.

    For the last week or so, everytime I open a new page/tab etc a yellow box on the left hand side appears and it usually has the websites name that I'm opening-it often shows up random sites?

    I was wondering if there is something in my settings I need to do to stop this. Sorry I can't post a picture of it.

    What browser is this?
    Have you tried an Incognito session (Chrome) or Private session (Firefox)?
    If it doesn't happen in this manner, it might be an extension that has been installed by mistake.
    It's hard to give more accurate advice when the information available is scarce. Maybe post a screenshot?

    Go to settings on your browser and go to advanced settings and check what settings you have Start Page set to. It could be something there.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.
