It was creeping me out when my iPhone would send me an instant coupon as I walked past certain stores, or my browser would hyperlink to merchants in the middle of an otherwise decent little article.
It happens on my phone too. I don't use chrome on it. Only dolphin, and it's never happened at any other site I've been on with my pc or my phone. My phone is a rooted android so my apps use the least possible amount of permissions and I have notifications and location turned off.

eta: it's happening with firefox too (on my pc). Just checked.
