I just ran into this problem with KAT.CR
At the bottom of the article it shows how to get past it by making a setting change on your Chrome app.

Haha, this might actually be a good thing for all of us.

Sounds like 2 of the sites have already been able to get unblocked.

Seems like it's based on the invasive and dangerous pop-ups they often have. For a long time I would get a new window opened with the same shitty music video playing on Vimeo every single time I clicked something on TPB. That was annoying.

Here's Google's link they provided when asking to comment:

Google, kotch, can anybody suggest a better search engine with a good UI?

I stopped using Chrome the day that it was shown to be harvesting passwords in an insecure file... how hard can it be for somebody to make a browser that doesn't ruin the online experience? IE blows goats. Firefox is buggy as hell. Chrome is essentially Google spyware...

^^^^^ What about Opera ? I've been using them with Duck Duck Go the last couple years.
