I noticed yesterday (or maybe it was this morning) that the links for jumping between pages in a thread didn't look right. I didn't think anything of it until I just tried to open one. Something is up with the link, it comes up like a phone call instead of going to the page. Here are a couple screenshots.

I don't think it's my phone. It does seem to be isolated to the Chrome browser though.

I noticed your browser has 16 tabs open? Are they Ads? You might have some kind of adware or malware on the phone?

I'm a tab-a-holic. That's very typical for me :) This is on an iPhone so the malware would have to be in Chrome itself, and I'm pretty skeptical of that.

It could still be possible to get malware. Hackers don't discriminate.

Have you deleted the browsers cache and history?

You could try and remove the chrome app and reinstall? Kind of sucks to go that route. I just went through the forums on my phone with chrome browser and no issues to report.

It's just an issue with a chrome. I'd rather not screw with the rest of my phone. I'll have to try it on my work iPhone and see if it still does it there.
