addthis's script fails to load in Chrome

Question

I've added addthis.com's code to my HTML page.

But Google Chrome shows a status failed for getting this url :

x Failed to load resource
GET http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-51aee1dc1b323034  

The addthis widget shows in FireFox on my PC but not on my colleague's where on loading that URL shows Content Encoding Error.

Im unable to find the root cause of this. Is it addthis's script or does it have something to do with my implementation ?

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue today. Try using https. It solved the problem for me.

AdBlock and other extensions block "addthis" http://support.getadblock.com/discussions/problems/26572-adblock-blocking-adthis-widget

I tried in every possible way for a day (http to https, CORS, etc). But failed. Then disable all the Extensions in Chrome. Eureka!!! It's Avast bloking the addthis_widget.js
