livefyre.com: on Ubuntu Chrome, the css (site_media/css/style_v5.css) fail to load, together with many .js files; as a result, the site looks like this:

(This doesn't happen on Ubuntu/Firefox, nor on Windows/Chrome.) It's strange; in the Network pane of Dev tools, the request show up as "failed"; but if I do

curl "http://www.livefyre.com/site_media/css/style_v5.css -H "Accept: text/css,/;q=0.1" -H "Cache-Control: max-age=0" -H "Referer: http://www.livefyre.com/ -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.43 Safari/537.31"

then it works!

Here's a copy of the network pane:

Okay, the culprit is Ghostery. Disabling it solves the problem.

What's weird is that on Windows it doesn't block the requests to css or js files like this; but obviously the problem lies with this extension.
