Description of the issue:
Every time I open a new tab the background image is not what the Settings are set to “Blank page” but rather I get an advert of something pretty weird. Unknown to me, at least. How can this issue be reproduced?
@Mordo terminology used can cause confusion. Such as on your original post you said you have it set to Blank Page but then showed a screenshot of your Dashboard. This is what led Mattches to ask about the settinz`g.
