Chrome the end of unwanted redirects

Google is developing new security features for Chrome to make it harder for third-party ads to display pop-ups or redirects when clicked on within the website that uses them.

On the Chromium blog, Google says it receives a lot of feedback from users of the browser who report that websites are redirecting to other pages. One in five user reports are related to the display of unwanted content.

Some pages do this automatically, while others have transparent overlays or misleading buttons.Chrome

Another malicious ad trick is opening a new tab arbitrarily while you click on a link.

Ultimatum from Google

Starting in January, Google Chrome will block all these types of redirects. Website owners can now access a service that will allow them to see if their site will be affected by the new measures.

If the website content is not corrected within 30 days, the page will not be able to open new pages or activate redirects.

The move is part of Google's campaign against malicious ads, which it launched earlier this year. The company also said that advertisers have until next year to clean up their ads or they will not appear at all to users of the popular web browser.

It should be noted that this particular protection through Chrome is not accidental, as it strengthens Google's monopoly in the advertising industry. Of course, this time it is for the benefit of the end user, who really suffers from ads that redirect and display popups.
