Since recently (I don't know exactly when it started), all the searches I do on Chrome search bar are redirected through this site www.getsearchredirecting.com.

I did a malware scan with two common antivirus software and nothing.

I noticed it just because my workplace network started blocking my searches due to www.getsearchredirecting.com being on some unsafe list.

The same happens also if I use Chrome Canary, but not with non-Google browsers like Safari. I am on MacOs 12.4.

Any idea on how to solve this?

    I would try deleting your Chrome user profile. Your Chrome user profile is infected with malware. If this system is connected to a enterprise network you should contact your IT Administrator.

A colleague solved it for me.

It was a web colour picker extension for chrome: https://extpose.com/ext/241212

Fortunately it was delisted.

Be careful out there guys, it's a bad world...
