Samsung Imternet Browser Home Page being redirected to advertisement

Mikey1986 — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 18:24:29 GMT

The Home page is set to meteo Home page. When I open internet Browser, it doesn't go to that page. I stead I get some website that is a personalized ad. McAfee detects nothing gamd real time monitoring is turned on. I'm a chrome user,due to its versatility across devices, but Sometimes I need to open two browsers separately, so I use Samsungs Internet Browser. Amy thoughts on what it could be?

Have you attempted to clear the cache/data of Samsung Internet in Settings>Apps>Samsung Internet>Storage?
