Start with the least disruptive fix: block the spam site&#8217;s notifications in the browser&#8217;s settings. In Chrome, you can also delete cookies and site data: tap <strong>More<\/strong> (three dots) &gt; <strong>Delete browsing data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear the browser&#8217;s app storage only if unwanted pages or redirects keep coming back. It works like a full reset, but it also deletes data that isn&#8217;t synced, so treat it as a last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-tabs mwtcui-tabs \" data-mwt-tabs data-active=\"1\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-tabs-nav\" role=\"tablist\" aria-label=\"Instructions\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"\" role=\"tab\" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-0-tab\" aria-controls=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-0\" aria-selected=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\" data-anchor=\"\">Chrome for Android<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"\" role=\"tab\" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-1-tab\" aria-controls=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-1\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-anchor=\"\">Firefox<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"\" role=\"tab\" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-2-tab\" aria-controls=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-2\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-anchor=\"\">Opera<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"\" role=\"tab\" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-3-tab\" aria-controls=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-3\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-anchor=\"\">Samsung Internet<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"\" role=\"tab\" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-4-tab\" aria-controls=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-4\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-anchor=\"\">Microsoft Edge<\/button><\/div><div class=\"su-tabs-panes\"><div class=\"su-tabs-pane mwtcui-tab-panel \" id=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-0\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"mwtcui-tabs-1-0-tab\" data-title=\"Chrome for Android\" data-anchor=\"\">\n<h4>Remove malware from Chrome for Android<\/h4>\n<p><strong>First, block the spam site&#8217;s notifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"mwt_detailed_steps\">\n<li>Open <strong>Chrome<\/strong>, tap the <strong>More<\/strong> button (three dots) in the top-right corner, and tap <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-more-settings-2026-illustration.webp\" alt=\"Illustration: Chrome for Android with the three-dot More button marked 1 and Settings in the menu it opens marked 2\" class=\"wp-image-439738\" width=\"800\" height=\"722\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-more-settings-2026-illustration.webp 1600w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-more-settings-2026-illustration-300x271.webp 300w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-more-settings-2026-illustration-1024x924.webp 1024w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-more-settings-2026-illustration-1536x1386.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tap <strong>Site settings<\/strong>, then tap <strong>Notifications<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-site-settings-2026-illustration.webp\" alt=\"Illustration: two Chrome for Android settings screens: Site settings under Advanced is marked 1, and Notifications on the Site settings screen is marked 2\" class=\"wp-image-439739\" width=\"800\" height=\"753\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-site-settings-2026-illustration.webp 1600w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-site-settings-2026-illustration-300x282.webp 300w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-site-settings-2026-illustration-1024x964.webp 1024w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/android-chrome-site-settings-2026-illustration-1536x1446.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Find the spam site in the list and turn off the switch next to it, or tap the site and block its notifications.
