  Another way to prevent cryptocurrency-related redirects in Chrome on Android is by being cautious while browsing. Avoid clicking on suspicious ads or links, especially those promising unrealistic returns or asking for personal information. If you encounter a redirect, close the tab immediately without interacting with it. Additionally, consider using a reputable antivirus app on your Android device to provide an extra layer of protection against malicious redirects.
