If you're using Adblock, check the settings and stuff. There's a "allow non-conspicuous ads" option in there that's enabled by default. Second, check out an addon called Disconnect.me to help further prevent tracking crap from loading.

If that doesn't stop it, run Malwarebytes and make sure there's no erroneous plugins/extensions installed. I've literally never seen the effects you're describing myself and I'm using the site on an extremely regular basis, so my next thought is that you might have something less-than nice trying to hijack your browser.

I should have screenshotted what it looked like because it only just recently started happening. I did follow the steps you listed out and I managed to add the parts to the adblocker and it seems to have worked. Thank you for your help! ^_^

The last two highlighted ones are specifically the ones I blocked for this oddity. Also, right after I posted this and went to delete the notification about your comment, I clicked and it opened a new tab with obvious spam in it (Something about upgrading flash or something.) But all I was clicking was the "select all" button.

That seems very suspicious to me. That definitely sounds like malware is embedded somewhere and likely hijacking Chrome and doing naughty things it shouldn't.

malwarebytes has been scanning for a while and hasn't come up with anything and doesn't seem like it's going to.
