This sounds like a malware infection that doesn't have anything to do with IDL.

Even so ...

Some web site or third-party software site may have installed one
or more chrome extensions in your browser whose role is to
filter incoming web pages and incorporate links to advertising.
These links often show up as double-underlined words, or highlighted
words, or both.

Go through chrome://extensions to see if there's anything in the list
of installed extensions that you don't recognize. Removing such things
(and perhaps restarting chrome) may be all you need to do.

More annoying instances involve web pages or software packages
surreptitiously installing adware on your system. You might
want to look for applications that were installed with or without your knowledge
at about the time the weird behavior started. If you find anything odd,
consider uninstalling it.

Beware of google searches regarding this matter. The top its are for
companies that offer to remove adware from your system. They're likely to be
the people who arranged to put it there in the first place!

Happy system-cleaning!

David
