@KelsonV Might be Ghostery apparently.

@sohkamyung Yeah, turning off Ghostery stops it from happening. Not a long-term solution, though!
@KelsonV According to this Android Police article, Google is aware of the issue and working on a fix.
@sohkamyung On one hand, it's good to know they're aware of it. On the other...a server-side change on Google's part shouldn't impact things happening on *other* sites. Middle-clicking Google's search results? Fine. Middle-clicking links in my own blog? Shouldn't be affected. Something doesn't add up.
Maybe what they mean is they're remotely changing config options or something...which doesn't inspire trust either.
@sohkamyung I would hope not!
