How do I prevent Chrome from redirecting .SVG to Google Docs?

I was having the same problem, and it was being caused by the extension "Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer (by Google)". I went to the Extension Manager and disabled it, then I opened a new browser window and the problem was solved.

I stumbled on this issue late, but for anyone else who has this problem (or the problem of the Google Docs extension opening zip files), you can disable those file types in the extension options. Go to the Chrome menu (the "hamburger") -> Tools -> Extensions, scroll to the Docs PDF / Powerpoint Viewer, and you can see an options link next to the "allow in Incognito" checkbox

Svg Viewer Chrome

once I do google seek in Chrome and click on the end result hyperlinks, i'm getting redirected to an unrelated internet site as quickly as each few situations. I narrowed it right down to an extension reported as Default Extension a million.0 (unpacked). a million. Open Chrome, circulate to Settings, and seem on the Extensions put in. 2. click on the button that announces "Developer Mode" 3. you are able to now see the particular "identity" for each extension 4. circulate to "laptop" and locate here folder: C:UsersUser_NameAppDataLocalGoogle... DataDefaultExtensions the place "User_Name" is your particular consumer call. 5. locate the Extension folder that has the same call because of the fact the "identity" for the extension (a probably random mix of letters). in case you do no longer see it, it is in a folder quite a few folders down e.g. consumer DataDefaultExtensionsDefaultDefault.... etc. (for some reason i could no longer locate the folder by ability of looking in homestead windows). 6. Delete this folder 7. Restart Chrome. This appeared to paintings

Hello there Melker

It's a virus, but not all virus removers or adware removers get rid of it. The only place I've found that worked for me was http://googleredirect.expertadvices.org/

PS - even more frustrating because you can't google the fix!! Such an annoying catch 22
