Using Android 4.1.1 Google Chrome, when I try to click on small links that are close together a magnified view of these links pops open.

Is there a way to deactivate this, either in the settings or in the CSS / meta tags?

When you have control over the meta tags, the answer to this SO question will work. However it will also remove the ability to zoom in/out, and change the initial zoom level, so may not be what you are looking for.
