My address bar keeps turning red, and gets a little icon up in the left hand corner. When i hover over the icon, it says "Browser is under remote control (Reason: DevTools)." I do not know how to turn this off. Does that mean that somebody actually has control of my browser? I cannot figure out how to turn it off, although just by messing around it has turned off twice. Later it comes back on. I have looked at DevTools, and I do not know what to do with it. I looked through settings, expecting to find the answer, but never found anything clearly stated that would help. I have looked at remote browser debugging, but could still not figure out what to do. I would appreciate some help on this, because I have no idea what to do.
