I have the same issue and it started around the same time. I have an S6, no Bixby. I uninstalled everything I installed or updated around that time. This included an app for a cheap fitness tracker, Facebook update, Amazon shopping, Amazon app store, and some others I took off just to be safe.

After all that I disabled Facebook, and finally disabled Chrome. But the next day they popped up on Firefox too... Crazy frustrating! No malware scanner is picking anything up.

Yea I've had this happen on my Note 9 due to 3rd party apps.

Uninstalled those and its gone. (It was a battery health monitoring app)

Glad you found a solution.

After a day in airplane mode; upon reconnecting to a network, four tabs in Chrome opened up to more malicious pages than there started out being (urgent "WARNING there might be a problem" pages), opened Developer Options> Running Services found three or four running Peel services and processes, stopped them and uninstalled (disabled) Peel. It's been three days and I haven't had another instance since then.

For a long while I got along just fine never updating Peel (updates were invasive long ago) and just using the widget to control TV and audio. But they've found a way to be more invasive without updating their app.

Here are some other links talking about this issue.
In Japanese, but points to Peel as the culprit:
