Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiDownloader/issues/69

During downloads, Chrome will keep opening a new window and navigating to seemingly unrelated pages before quickly closing. Pages I've seen include the "Thank you for downloading Opera browser" page, and some site shilling crypto. Idk if opening tabs serves some purpose, but it would be a lot less concerning if it opened pages that didn't make me worry SpotiDownloader was installing other shit or mining bitcoin on my machine.

It's from the website spotidownlaoder.com itself. It seems like they put ads on their website. There's nothing I can do about it, except maybe you can use DNS Adguard to block the ads.
