its not a bug its a feature (not really but it opens because of spotidownloader website and thats how the website makes money) so you got to deal with it or pay to download songs the official way.

But if you go directly to the website to download, the popups and redirects do not occur. It only occurs when using this project.

if you turn off your adblocker you will see how many ads there are, and when the app opens chromium the website opens and redirects to other websites (ads) and they make money, and also the app doesn't use your profile with the settings and adblocker it makes a temporary user every time it opens

The pop-up ads are from the website itself. There's nothing I can do about it. It's okay, as long as you get the token.
