When browsing less than safe websites using Google Chrome, tabs tend to randomly open and close again less than a second later.

Sometimes, when my connection is a bit slower, I can get a glimpse at the link. It goes to some link, quickly redirects to something different and closes again.
It happens occasionally when I click, it doesn't matter if I click a link or just a blank space.
I have already run several anti virus scams, malware tests etc., but none of them are finding anything. I haven't noticed anything different about my computer when looking at performance, the amount of ads, boot time etc.
I don't really have an issue, at least not as far as I know, but I'm just curious.

Also, I'm using it on a "burner" PC. I don't login to anything important on it, so there's no reason to worry if I have a key logger,unless it somehow spread over my WiFi, of course.

'when browsing less than safe websites'....

Really not much reason to read much further....

If truly determined to surf dangerous websites known infect 9 out of 10 people, and, you like that....

Make a VM, and, nuke it/snapshot back to original each time, or, surf from within a Linux Mint VM on VirtualBox....
