Private mode in Safari strangely opened Viber link

I was using private mode on Safari on my Macbook Air when it suddenly opened a Viber link.


I'm scared that my browser or machine is compromised since how the **** could that happen except if someone controlled the mouse and pasted that URL while I was using it? Can someone please explain?
