...just joking, seriously.
I used to get those but they eventually stopped...
They were a pain because you just can't back out of it and go back to your page.
I had to do something more like close chrome or close my web page and come back fresh.
Hadn't seen it in quite a while though.
I do have plenty of security and virus protection on my device now though...

I really believe it's getting in here at GON.
Only place I see it...

I haven't had any issues like that either on my phone or desktops. Could be that Google browser, too. I use Safari on my phone and Firefox on my computers.

Look for the "Brave" browser in the app store, I started using it about two or three years ago, has built in blockers for ads and tracking cookies, heard about it from that tech geek Clark Howard, lol, I use it on both my computers and my phone, I no longer use Chrome for anything
From time to time I get the same pop up. It'll happen several times & then stop.

Make sure your phone and browser are updated with current security patches....
Get away from Google and MS backed browsers, Use FireFox, Brave, or another of your choosing.
Insure that you have an ad bloker running AdBlock is good Ublock is good.
Cycle your phone off and back on at least once a week so that patches can be applied to your OS and resources that might be tied up can be released.
This has done the trick for me for years.

Google stated a couple of days ago that ad blockers violate their TOU's and since ads are a revenue stream they will be going after users that don't remove or disable them will be blocked.
I guess kinda like Netflix and shared passwords. Firefox is now owned by google/meta. Only a matter of time.

DuckDuckGo…..my adds stopped popping upGonna have to find a new browser.
I have none in FireFox either. My response was to the post above from @pjciii. Google does not own FireFox.
There is a contract between the tow whereby FireFox agrees to make Google the default search engine on FireFox. The default should be changed to DuckDuckGo or another more friendly and secure search as soon as FireFox is loaded. LOL
