JSON not rendering - conflict with ghostery #102

I was having issues with the JSON not rendering, even after making sure that file urls were enabled in extensions. After some digging I found that the issue is a conflict with Ghostery.

This is more an issue with their plugin than yours, but I thought it might be good to post anyway for anyone having issues. It adds HTML to the body when it shows it's tracker list, which is what probably causes this plugin not to recognize the page content as JSON.

ghostery-settings Make sure that Show the purple box tracker list in the corner of my browser is unchecked in Ghostery's settings. This plugin worked fine as soon as I made the change.

Hopefully this helps anyone experiencing similar issues

Thank you very much, I'll add this warning to the description page.

There's another alternative workaround if you consider the site you're visiting is safe; you can hide the purple box for trusted sites.

For urls such as the GitHub JSON API, the site is trustable as it just serves JSON and has no trackers by default.
