Issue description



VULNERABILITY DETAILS

The current version of Chrome is susceptible to browser hijacking when in incognito mode under some situations.

VERSION

Chrome Version: 62.0.3202.84 - stable
Operating System: Android 7.1.1 / ONEPLUS a5000 build / NMF26X (current OnePlus OS)

REPRODUCTION CASE

Go to zerohedge.com on an Android OnePlus phone (This site hosts ad networks that take advantage of the bug).  Chrome browser will be hijacked in incognito mode, but not in regular mode.  Unknown about other Android phones.

Unclear if this bug is a vulnerability in Chrome itself, or something in the Android software OS and version.  The same bug does not occur on my Ipad, windows 10, or Ubuntu machines.
