There's this thing where tabs appear without consent, I use a different browser than edge but it still brute forces it's way into my face, even after uninstalling it, it still won't go away, and every so often, it opens up tabs like this one, even though I never opened it, it's annoying and like a pest that's immortal. And no, this is not a virus.Screenshot 2026-04-20 141629

    Hello, can you please try to disable each and check if you are getting the same issue?

    Please check if you have another app that may be triggering this behavior.

    Settings → Apps → Installed apps

    Look for anything suspicious, like:

    “Web Companion”

    “Widgets”

    “News”

    OEM tools (Lenovo, etc.)

    Disable or uninstall anything you don’t use. Please note that this is a public forum. I will do my best to respond within a short time, and I apologize for any delay. I’m simply another user sharing insights and information that may be helpful to others.
