Chrome 403 error #25

Copied from user email:

I'll often get "403 - forbidden" pages when using this addon. Specifically, I get them when I use the middle mouse button to click on the links (to avoid having to right click then go to "open in a new tab")

A few reloads (2 or 3) seem to load the page past the Forbidden screen, but it's annoying. Also, opening the links with left click (opening the website in the same page), right click > open in new tab / open in new window / open in incognito window all work.

Clicking a link with the middle mouse button and then "right click > open in new tab" on the same link returns a 403 for the first, but the second loads.

Clicking a link with the "right click > open in new tab" and then a middle click on the same link loads the page in both cases.

The error message is

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access [url] on this server."

I was not able to reproduce this issue with the firefox version of this addon, and the fact that only middle mouse clicks trigger it lead me to believe that this issue is directly due to the proxy used by disconnect search and that it is specific to the chrome version."
