NOTE: Please be careful of permanent use of this extension because it could disable some of Chrome's protection from harmful websites.

Just FYI - I've started getting redirects from Google only when in Google News. Google will ask you if you want to go to this website or return. It appears to be a growing problem which Google has not addressed. Just FYI, I disabled all of my extensions and it persisted, cleared cache, etc., same. After much searching, I found people discussing an extension that stops it. Google link fixer in Chrome. There is also a release for Firefox which appears to have worked.
