Google said that one in five Chrome feedback reports mention encountering some type of unwanted content. The company noted that it?s taking user feedback seriously, so beyond Chrome?s existing pop-up blocker and autoplay protections, it will bring three new protections over the next few releases of Chrome that are designed to stop unwanted content.
One piece of feedback from Chrome users is that sometimes a page will navigate to a different page unexpectedly. Google found that often this is not even what the page?s author intended, as the behavior is created by third-party content embedded on the page that wasn?t supposed to redirect visitors to another page.
To address this issue, Chrome 64 will stop such iframe redirects and then show the user an information bar explaining that the redirect was blocked. Chrome will prevent the redirect only if it happens automatically and the user wasn?t interacting with the frame.
