These mods should help deflect unwanted (and potentially dangerous) junk:
CHROME upper right chevron > Settings> tick "Show Advanced settings..." @ bottom> Privacy> Content settings> Cookies> (choose one of the top two), and "Block 3rd party..."
Tick * : Show images
Allow sites to run JavaScript"
(Plug-in's) Click to play
Do not allow pop-up's
Do not allow any site to track my physical location
Ask me when a site wants to show desktop notifications (recommended)
Do not allow any site to disable the mouse cursor
"Web intents"â‘¡ is a decision you must make.
[IMHO this is more spying and potential security risks.]
Do not allow sites to access my camera and microphone.
(You decide if this is needed for some feature)

* Only if you have the following plug-in's:
â–º"AdBlock Plus" (might need 'subscription' added after install).
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search?q=ad+block
â–º"KB SSL Enforcer" add-on: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...ofphddckof
â–º"ScriptSafe" stops all kinds of nasties and should be used by everyone. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...lahbdbdgdf

â‘¡ Read carefully what this feature does because it has convoluted implications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Intents
