Seems possible this was related to that DDOS attack on the DNS servers on Friday. At the time I couldn't access Twitter or the Forums. Instead, I went outside. Terrifying. Didn't see any bears, but I know they were there, waiting.
Hey, it was adblock. Thanks. I hadn't thought of it as chrome had just imported over all my extensions from my other pc. But not those extensions' settings turns out.
