Wow. That's a site I would welcome to pop up! :)

It's easy to tap an ad and despite the pop-up blocker some extra pages (tabs) do launch. I assume it happened sometime when you didn't notice it. But no, don't let this one extra page alarm you. Worst case it threw a cookie down and you may clear those.
