I only use Chrome on a tablet and I see the normal light yellow highlite. Searching the topic suggests it is a site coding issue e.g.,
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...ting-of-elements-in-chrome-when-clicking-quic
Have you tried clearing the Chrome cache, including site data?
edit to add: coding issue is not necessarily this site, if that is what it is. I was thinking that maybe you picked up a change somewhere and it was persistent, hence the cache clear.
