Why does my Chrome keep redirecting me whenever I cannot connect to a website?

This is not an issue specific to Chrome. It is an issue with Domain Name Server You specified.

--------

when you type a URL, like

http://apple.com

your Mac sends a "look up the number" request to the first listed Domain Name Server shown in your network preference pane.

continuing my example, it would return:

http://17.149.160.49

If the Domain Name Server is working, but the URL you typed is not found, the policy of the Domain Name Server prevails. In your case, the Domain Name Server YOU SPECIFIED returns a splash page telling you you are an idiot and suggesting you read these Ads.

If you do not like that, specify a different Domain Name Server -- it is your choice.

If you're using OpenDNS or Google DNS, use the DNS servers provided by your ISP instead. They may not be any better, but they won't be worse.

Look for this extension (Domain Error Assistant) in Chrome (tools/extensions):

chrome://extensions/

disable it or delete it and your problem is gone.
