Is this a virus? I keep getting a message that my phone is infected now and getting redirected.

It is not a virus, Chrome, Firefox, Opera & MS Edge all work correctly on the same machine. All history has been deleted along with cookies. Still redirects.

Most likely, imo, you have a nasty extension. I am not able to reproduce this behavior. ie. Going to https://www.aliexpress.com/ lands on https://www.aliexpress.com/

Give us a list of your extensions and we will be better able to assist you. Or you can take a screenshot of brave://extensions/.

Anybody have some ideas here?

Download Malwarebytes free portable ADWcleaner and run it with admin priviledges. Download from here - https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
You might have a Pup doing it. Also Check your hosts file, and flush your DNS Cache.
