How to Stop Redirecting When Clicking a Link
When a Web user clicks on a link, this link sends him to the Web page that is included in the hyperlink. Once the link performs its duty of turning your browser toward the hyperlinked page, the link has nothing else to do with the functionality of your browser. If the page that opens has a redirect code embedded into its HTML, the page will redirect every time that page is opened. You can stop redirecting users who use a certain link only by adjusting the HTML in the linked page. To do this, you must have access to the back-end of the site being redirected.
