It seems you might have accidentally installed some unwanted software. The random sites loading and the redirects to app stores suggest adware or malware is present. After running Kaspersky and Malwarebytes, the malicious app was removed. However, redirects still occur when navigating to other apps. Reinstalling the browser didn’t resolve the issue, so you may want to consider using a different browser or clearing your browser cache and cookies. If the problem persists, contacting support for the app store or your browser provider could be helpful.
many free apps send you to another page when you open them in the Google Play Store, often leading to paid versions so they can earn money. if this happens only with certain apps, the issue lies with those apps themselves—your best solution is to stop using them. I do use a few, though it’s annoying; they just open the browser once and redirect you to Google Play. If an app takes you to a different site other than Google Play, remove it. If a specific app redirects to its own site, that’s normal too—just close the browser. That’s my take.
When the app takes you to a Google Play page, the standard response is to open Google Play for that app. To avoid this, you can adjust the settings in the Application Manager under "Open by default" and remove the preset options. If you're using a web browser, clicking a link might automatically launch Google Play, possibly because the site is trying to highlight its app. Or it could be due to issues with ad servers.
