To close a pop-up window in Chrome, simply click on the 'X' button at the top right corner of the pop-up. If that doesn't work, you can also try pressing 'Alt + F4' on Windows or 'Command + W' on Mac. For persistent pop-ups, go to Chrome settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects, and ensure the setting is set to 'Blocked'.
