ads online are out of control these days-- you should probably look into better blocking and browser options. Try firefox for example

I do use Firefox. The tabs didn't even succefully load due to ad-blocking.

This seemed to work by hijacking the "open in another app" feature on android. The ad first opened in the in-app browser of my Lemmy app, and from there it spammed new tabs into existence in the Firefox app, which kept opening, and kept opening new tabs.
