I switched to Firefox for Android after several attempts by DoubleClick to infect my device with malware. Funnily enough Chrome does ship with a setting which makes this kind of hijacking a lot harder. It was off by default and hidden in an obscure menu that wasn't accessible via the UI. Enabling it for everyone would probably lose them too much ad revenue I suspect.

Could you please share what this setting is, and how to access it?

It was one of the options under chrome://flags and I don't recall which - this was more than 6 months ago now.
