 I recently installed the avast! Online Security plug-in for Chrome, and
 have noticed a periodic "Extension error" alert. The details provided by
 Chrome in my plug-in list, under HTTPS Anywhere (2014.6.26) are:

 "Warning: This extension failed to redirect a network request to
 https://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js because another extension (avast!
 Online Security) redirected it to chrome-
 extension://gomekmidlodglbbmalcneegieacbdmki/common/mocks/ga.js."

 I have "Web Tracking blocked" enabled in my avast! settings, and was told
 by avast tech support to either disable this feature or disable HTTPS
 Anywhere. Is it possible to add an exception so I can both block analytics
 with avast and continue to use HTTPS Anywhere without constantly throwing
 up an error?
