Ok. So, I may have to ditch Chrome. The constant/forced updates changing pages' behaviors - often times NOT for the better - is getting old. When I visit sites I know are going to pop shit up, I add hosts table entries to make it so nothing pops up. Popping up an empty frame to tell me you couldn't connect kind of defeats the purpose of such null-hosting. Making it so I can't dismiss the notification is completely maddening. Fuck you, Google.
