Final answer:

Turning off auto redirection in Chrome typically involves altering settings to block pop-ups and redirects. Chrome lacks a specific auto redirect off switch, but adjusting the pop-up and redirect settings can limit such behavior.

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn off auto redirection in the Chrome browser, you will need to disable the feature that allows websites to redirect you to another page automatically. However, it's important to note that as of my last update, Chrome does not have a built-in setting specifically to disable all automatic redirections. Nonetheless, you can manage pop-ups and redirects within Chrome's settings to some extent.

Follow these steps to adjust the settings:Open Chrome and go to the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu.Click on 'Settings'.Scroll down and click on 'Advanced' to expand the advanced settings.Under 'Privacy and security', click on 'Site settings'.Scroll down to 'Pop-ups and redirects'.Here you can toggle the setting to 'Blocked' to prevent most automatic redirectsHowever, some sites may still redirect automatically if they don't use the standard pop-up or redirect methods. If you're facing issues with a specific site, you may need to add it to the block list manually within the same 'Pop-ups and redirects' section.
