How do I stop automatic FORWARD redirects/page openings in Samsung internet?

S22Plus_user — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 05:35:51 GMT

To clarify: I'm using the Samsung Internet app on my Samsung Galaxy S22+

The site I'm on is always opening a different page with every click. I have already disabled pop-ups, but that doesn't stop this problem from happening. I have 3 ad blockers installed already. Is there a setting that stops this? Or do I need to download another browser extension?

EDIT: I FOUND OUT HOW TO STOP THIS!! Settings > Privacy Dashboard > Block pop-ups > tap the 3 dots at the top right > Manage websites. for some reason, the site I used was automatically added to this list,and it was toggled on!

In the privacy settings having set to standard or strict i think it is should be good. Edit medium standard but below that at top turn on the others

The Samsung Dex connection is failing too much.

Try clearing the cache / data in the Samsung internet app. NOTE: CLEARING DATA WILL DELETE YOUR BOOKMARKS!
Go to device settings > apps > Samsung internet > storage > clear cache/data.

If clearing cache/data doesn't resolve the redirects/ pop-ups issue, then you could choose to use another browser if you wish. I personally recommend using a privacy browser like duck duck go or similar.

Why do you have 3 ad blockers installed? The ad blocker apps may be interfering with one another. I would think one ad blocker is all you need installed.

Huh? Please use punctuation. I went to Privacy dashboard then set Smart Antitracking to strict
