Is
what done by chrome extension/malware? The redirection to the other page or the inability to go back after being redirected?
You cant go back to the previous page, because that previous page redirected you through its HTML code. When this happens you cant go back, its not cause of an extension nor malware.
HOWEVER, the redirection of r.linksprf.com
cannot be verified by me, since little to no info is available about this site, and many others have reported their Chrome going crazy, and they have also said that random links relating to r.linksprf.com opens randomly. Some people report its because of an extension. Go to your all extensions list and check for any odd/malicious looking extensions.
See how
Upon further research, the redirection case is kinda malicious. If you go to r.linksprf.com you can see the name as
SRVTRCK. If you Google about SRVTRCK, you can get some info about it. What it does is, it redirects you to advertising companies/sponsored stuff (if it wasn't obvious by now, they make money through this). This affects infected browsers. See
this Bitdefender Community post about it. This post also gives info on how to remove it.
EDIT: Both
r.srvtrck.com &
r.linksprf.com are both identical.
I recommend installing a trusty antivirus, and scanning your computer to just be on the safe side
