Got a dumb question, but I though I'd ask it anyway.

While browsing the internet my phone earlier tonight, I had an home emergency come up, so I stopped browsing. Outside of using my iPhone for a flashlight during that time, there was no other interaction.

The reason I asked, was when I went back to browsing on my iPhone a little while ago, I noticed that there were a couple of fake Apple Security malware popups in the background that I wasn't aware of, which had been sitting there idling for a couple of hours. I didn't interact with them at any time, but was wondering, are there any potential issues with them staying open for extended periods of time? Usually when I come across these things, I close them as soon as they pop up, so I never think of them as being anything other than a fleeting annoyance.
