China Eastern Airlines pop-up

From time to time (about once per session), a new foreground tab pops up for China Eastern Airlines' website (https://oa.ceair.com/au/en/). While I have flown with CEA, I have certainly never given them permission for this, and I do not have any account with them.

This started happening recently, some time after I upgraded to Version 64.0.3417.92. I looked through settings but cannot find any way to block this.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is, and how I can fix it?

Thanks

@hdhondt The problem happens with all extensions disabled?

The problem happens with no tabs opened?

Does it happens no matter what sites you visit?

Apart from Opera's ad blocker I only use one extension (a video downloader). I' disable it and see.

I always start with a number of tabs open, but it happens regardless of which sites I visit. But, as I said, it's not regular. It happens most but not all sessions, and when it does happen, it's usually in the middle of a session, when I'm looking at something entirely unrelated.

@hdhondt Did you check your system for malware?

Both ZoneAlarm and Malwarebytes are installed and run regular scans. No malware has been found for the last several months.

Well, it's been a week since I disabled Video Downloader Pro and China Eastern hasn't popped up again. I'll re-enable it to see if it's a coincidence. I hope it is as VDP is my favourite video downloader.

Another week, and still no pop-up from CEA. VDP is enabled, and I've had no problems.

I'll file it in the mystery box. If it occurs again, I'll try to note what I did just before it happens. Thanks to those people who gave suggestions.
