 Recent versions of Chromium and Chrome have implemented an automatic
 mechanism to block the loading of insecure HTTP scripts from HTTPS
 origins.  At first there was a loud popup message whenever that happened,
 but now the only indication in the UI is a small shield in the address
 bar, which the user can click on to force the insecure scripts to load.

 Google has replied "won't fix" to any UX or extension API requests we made
 about this: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=144637

 As a result, we are going to need a major push to identify rulesets that
 break sites in Chrome because of this mechanism, and disable them on that
 platform.  This ticket will track that task.
