Error on Chrome about decentraleyes HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @jake-cryptic, and many thanks for sharing your findings.

I'm unable to reproduce your issue, so I'll need some additional details. Could you please tell me what platform you were on, what exact version of Chrome you were using, and what other extensions you had installed? You could send these details via (encrypted) email, if you'd rather not make them public.

Hi,
I think I've just figured it out, it only happens when you go to a new tab page.
I'm running Chrome 66.0.3359.181 on Windows 7 (x64), all other extensions are disabled

Screenshot of the error in the developer tools:

Thanks for the additional details. Could you please navigate to chrome://settings/search#privacy and share the current state of your "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" checkbox?

It was disabled, but no matter if it is enabled or disabled the same error occurs.

I personally think it's to do with the fact that the new tab page is chrome://newtab and I don't think extensions are allowed to modify those in some cases, maybe add a check to the function to see if requestDetails.url starts with http:// or https:// before trying to access it.
