[SOLVED] Xfinity Gateway Login auto opened and tabs crashed with a security error

[_dawn_chorus_]

Woke up to my brave browser having randomly opened a tab for Xfinity's Gateway Login. Two other tabs had crashed and showed this error message:

"Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.homedepot.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Subject: myrouter.io

Issuer: COMODO RSA Organization Validation Secure Server CA

Expires on: Jun 30, 2021

Current date: Mar 16, 2021"

I am running Brave browser with no extensions and have paid kaspersky av. No warnings from Kaspersky.
I had left a home depot shopping cart open with items in it but they have none of my info saved.
What does this mean??
