I'm getting a strange issue with my nexus 7. I use the default chrome browser and every time I go to a web page I get the below pop up:
![]()
It doesn't matter what site I go to I get that error. Its only happening on my nexus 7, not on my phone which is also android(GSIII) and has the same synced settings. Any idea what this could be caused by?

Yeah its strange. If windows was getting these kinds of errors I would assume something nefarious but my N7 is stock and I don't install software from anywhere but the play store. Plus that site is linking back to something google.
Maybe someone else who sees this later will recognize the error. Not sure. Gonna try messing with it some more and then I'll reformat it if I cant figure it out.

I just had this problem, and it appears to be related to a data compression setting. You can turn it off under settings->bandwidth management.
