Removing annoying box around clicked items in Chrome

Is there a way to remove this annoying box around items I click on in Chrome? Every time I click on anything I'm browsing, Windows 11 loves to put some rounded box around what I click on. Note in the screenshot below, I clicked on the search box, and of course, Windows 11 adds some box around it.

Solution 1:

This looks like Chrome's 'Quick Focus Highlight' accessibility feature.

You can disable this by doing the following:

  • In the top right of Google Chrome, click the three dots to open the menu
  • Press Settings and then go to Advanced
  • Click Accessibility from within the Advanced menu
  • Turn the slider off for 'Show a quick highlight on the focused object'

You could also insert the following in your URL bar to go directly to it: chrome://settings/accessibility
