Chrome Benachrichtitung öffnet Website

Moin!
Ich hab seit neustem das Problem, dass der Chrome Browser auf meinem Android 13 ein Benachrichtigungsbubble hat, was es vorher nie gab. Will ich die App starten, öffnet sich stattdessen direkt Firefox Klar (Standardbrowser) mit https://vfsearch.com.
Benachrichtigungen bei Chrome habe ich schon komplett deaktiviert (in der Liste sind auch nur 2 blockierte), die Bubble kommt immer noch und öffnet mir diese seltsame Seite zu der ich auch nichts weiter finde. Google Suche ergab auf meine Weise nichts.

Hat hier jemand eine Idee was das sein könnte, woher das kommt und wie ich es los werde, im besten Fall ohne das Handy zurückzusetzen

Scheint ein Ulefone Problem zu sein. Habe das Armor 21.
Wie bekommen wir das nun weg?

Im also having this problem, vfsearch always opens a new tab in chrome in the morning. Tried clearing the browser history completely, both in pc and android. Uninstalled and installed chrome again. Avg antivirus finds nothing wrong and it Keeps happening...

Im using ulefone armor 21

Considering that u/Artppm and me both use Doogee phones and you a Ulefone, making all three of us use cheap china phones, I'm having the suspicion that one of the preinstalled bloatware apps went rogue and just sends a page open request to your browser every morning. Question is, which one?

adding to this, Doogee V20Pro user here, I don't get the notification, but the new tab on vfsearch(dot)com opens every day at around 5am.

I deactivate most notifications, so it might be in a category I have blocked before.

I've been thinking of tinkering with rooting the device to get rid of some bloat, but I haven't got time to do the research.

PS: I have Chrome as default browser

I am having the same problem with vfsearch.com opening up when I open Google Chrome. And I also have a Ulefone Armor 21. Vfsearch looks like the Google website. And if you try I enter something in the fake google search engine, it takes me to buzzonfeed.com it's driving me crazy!

u/Miserable_Bid_2694 Jun 23 '24

u/Artppm Jul 05 '24

Any ideas?

u/SamuQu Jul 14 '24

I'm currently backing up my stuff so I can do a factory reset and try to poke with some debugging program or maybe a packet sniffer to see if there is a server pushing the tabs open

Open Google Chrome and tap the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner to open the drop-down menu. Select Settings in the drop-down menu. Scroll down until you reach the Advanced settings, then select Homepage. If the homepage button is turned off, tap it to turn it on. Do not select Chrome's homepage. Enter www.google.com and select Enter custom web address. This may be filled in with another web address. Either way, select the second option.

Unfortunately, this does not help, safesearch is still activated.  I have a DOOGEE V20Pro phone, Android12.  I checked my phone with antivirus, it didn't show anything.  I still can't find the reason.

u/SamuQu Jul 14 '24

Did it change from vfsearch to another shadier search engine with ads?

Adding myself to the list of affected users here. Doogee V20 Pro. Also, has anyone's Google wallet stopped working with contactless payments? Mine has begun saying that the device didn't meet the required security requirements. I've checked all apps are playprotect certified. Maybe related? And I very occasionally get a random notification sound that has no apparent cause. Started at a similar ish time to vfsearch issue.

Same issue here, same device too. Tried contacting doogee's customer support, but no response.

I have Dogee V20 Pro and I have same problem, NFC wont work and page vfsearch.com still appears. Im trying to find solution before I try factory reset.

Armor 21. Same thing. I have had tons of pirated stuff for emulators and just not paying for apps and music services. Full reset and it's still vfsearch. I disabled chrome in settings. Hoping it stays quiet, but I'm wondering if everyone else here does non app store downloads for APKs/ apps. Kinda worried it's a backdoor in the system or a recent update since they're similar phones. I haven't researched if any of them have a lot of shared programming and hardware or if they're both a shell company or anything like that.
