Blocking Intellitxt links in Chrome and other browsers

Jamesbjenkins

Last night, one of my regular visitors contacted me to let me know that Chrome was doing weird things to my blog and website. On random words throughout the site, the browser was inserting links that are attached to ads from outside my site. Upon doing some research, I've learned this is a system called Intellitxt, and that Google does this regularly. I have not set this up, and I'm extremely irritated that Google/Chrome has corrupted the viewing experience for my fans.

Does anyone know how I can disable all of these keyword links that Google is generating on my site? A cursory search on Google (oh the irony) didn't provide any answers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you seen them first-hand? I just browsed your site using Chrome and I didn't see anything odd.

Sounds like your client inadvertently installed a browser add-on called Text Enhance. There have been a lot of complaints about it on the Mozilla forums, along with instructions for removing it.

This seems to have the best instructions for removing it in all major browsers, you might want to direct your client here:

If it's not Text Enhance I am sure it's something similar (your site is clean) and he will need to remove whatever is installed on his browser the same way.

To be clear, the main complaint was the blog, not the website.

My specific question is, is there something that I can do on my site via the SM interface, HTML or CSS that will command all of those kinds of add-ons to disable themselves on my site/blog?

I do not see any problem on your blog. You don't have as much text on your website as you do on your blog, the text on your website may not contain trigger keywords. If he visits another text-heavy website he'll see the same thing if his browser has been hi-jacked.

I am not aware of anything preventative that you can do to your site when a visitor is using a hi-jacked browser. He needs to clean his browser. The problem is on his end, not yours.
