I have a hovering text on my screen that is coming from another window

( another opened Chrome window )

An image from 'Hovering text on my screen'. User asks why a Spotify widget appears in an incognito Chrome tab and how to remove it without rebooting.


Why does it happen, and how can i get rid of it without rebooting ?

Hi

Are you logging into Incognito mode on purpose?
Do you get the same thing in normal mode?

Try running Malwarebytes and see if it's some kind of malware, adware thing.

This looks like it's related to this video on YouTube...
