I know I’m going to need this one day: [WayBack] debugging – Find what javascript changes the DOM? – Stack Overflow

This appeared to be a Chrome thing: [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers at Twitter: “@wordpressdotcom not sure what goes wrong with billing, but the printed html has odd domain characters. The viewed HTML is OK, but I cannot print that because printing garbles it. I can DM you the receipt links. Similar for the date which becomes unreadable (the IRS dislikes it).…”

Most of my browser life is in Chrome, but the memory consumption and CPU usage has increased so much over time so it, err, become less than optimal.
Given the new FireFox is supposed to use far less memory and CPU than previous FireFox versions, I want to try it, but since so much of my Chrome life is about Chrome Extensions, I was glad to discover [WayBack] Chrome Store Foxified
Enables the Google Chrome Store and Opera Addons Website for Firefox. Point and click to install Opera/Chrome extensions straight into Firefox.

Just in case it’s not enabled yet: How to enable JavaScript in your browser and why
It even has some html to redirect to it, which I’ve replaced with the wayback machine (and put into a gist as WordPress kills noscript tag blocks and everything they contain.
| <noscript> | |
| For full functionality of this site it is necessary to enable JavaScript. | |
| Here are the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20160402005258/http://www.enable-javascript.com/" target="_blank"> | |
| instructions how to enable JavaScript in your web browser</a>. | |
| </noscript> |
I needed it as at a client site, one of the embedded devices would show the message “Javascript is required to use this web portal” in various web browsers so I had to check the JavaScript status in each browser.

A while ago I suspected at least one of my Chrome extensions to do funny things.
In the end it appeared that “Live HTTP Headers 1.0.8” went rogue a while ago and has by now been removed from the store as this link is gone: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iaiioopjkcekapmldfgbebdclcnpgnlo ()
It was part of a much larger set of extensions that went away and isn’t limited to Chrome: other browsers with extension mechanisms suffer from this too. More links about this at the bottom of this post.
Which means that by now you should be really careful which extensions you have installed and enabled.
So, browse through these and ensure you’ve disabled everything you don’t need permanently:
On my system, I removed these:
When you go from Chrome to these URLs through the extensions page, it usually appends an UTM tracker like utm_source to the URL.
So I dug into that as well and found these links explaining them:

[WayBack] Schlechte Nachrichten für Fritz!box User: http://nic.box/ Euer http://fritz.box ist nicht mehr das, was es sein sollte. EDIT: Muahahaha … – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
Now there is http://nic.box/ for the new [WayBack] box top level domain and AVM does not yet have the pre-registered fritz.box there effectuated (because .box is not in final registration state yet).
Kristian:
Schlechte Nachrichten für Fritz!box User: http://nic.box/ Euer http://fritz.box ist nicht mehr das, was es sein sollte.
EDIT: Muahahaha
kris@h1755802:~> host fritz.box
fritz.box has address 127.0.53.53
fritz.box mail is handled by 10 your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.box.
The joke is in the cryptic “your-dns-needs-immediate-attention” and usage of 127.0.53.53. to indicate a gTLD name collision.
Chrome knows about ICANN though and explains it in a slightly more readable form when browsing to http://fritz.box (:

This week there was the very important Google Chrome Announcement: Requiring Certificate Transparency in 2017 – Google Groups [Archive.is].
I’m glad that letsencrypt already submits all certificates to Certificate Transparency logs [WayBack] for X1 and X3 but there is more to it as you can read in How Certificate Transparency Works – Certificate Transparency [WayBack].
So there’s a [Google Chrome] Announcement: Requiring Certificate Transparency in 2017 – Feature Requests – Let’s Encrypt Community Support [WayBack and Archive.is].
Hopefully one or both of these issues see some progress soon:
