I keep getting this appearing on the forum view as well as other websites when I click and hold. It's only been the last few days and a Malwarebytes scan is clear. confused

Sorry! Chrome, android all up to date. Possibly updated recently?

It just appears when you open any forum view or my stuf/what's new. Also if you press and hold on any website.

have you installed anything new on the device? 3rd party keyboard, search assistants, etc?

Bing suggests something from MS or Yahoo, do you use Swiftkey?

Don't think so. Don't use SwiftKey, and can't find any suspicious apps.

It's standard Android functionality isn't it? It happens when you select some text...

It's randomly appearing even if I haven't tried to select anything.
