Some sites are served within an iframe
(only) on Chrome.
Here's an example of the source code of Digg.com served within an Iframe:
<html class="gr__digg_com">
<head>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://digg.com/"/>
</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ibnads.xl.co.id/ads-request?t=4&j=2&callback=iframe.jsonp454&rnd=452&a=http%3A%2F%2Fdigg.com%2F&i=176791713"></script>
</head>
<body data-gr-c-s-loaded="true">
<div id="container">
<div id="top-banner"></div>
<div id="middle">
<div id="left-banner"></div>
<div id="content">
<iframe id="main-frame" frameborder="0" style="width: 1333px; border: 0px; height: 8200px;" src="http://digg.com/"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="right-banner"></div>
</div>
<div id="bottom-banner"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">p={'t':'4', 'i':'176791713'};</script>
<script src="http://ibnads.xl.co.id:8004/COMMON/js/if_low_20150915.min.js"></script>
</body>
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" id="abs-top-frame" src="chrome-extension://flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk/html/top.html?1457289833178#minimized" style="position: fixed !important; z-index: 2147483647 !important;overflow: hidden !important; top: 0px !important; left: 0px !important; right: 0px !important; width: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; max-height: none !important; min-height: 0px !important; margin: 0px auto !important; padding: 0px !important; border: 0px !important; display: none !important; background-color: transparent !important;"></iframe>
<span class="gr__tooltip"><span class="gr__tooltip-content"></span><i class="gr__tooltip-logo"></i><span class="gr__triangle"></span></span>
</html>
The actual Digg.com content is embedded within<iframe id="main-frame">
.
This causes an ugly extra vertical scroll bar.
The URL in the address bar is still digg.com.
I tried to visit the sites (digg.com and some other sites) in Firefox, and they look fine.
I suspect that it's caused by a browser extension, but I don't know what it is.
Here are all browser extensions I have installed on Chrome:
Does anyone know why some sites are being served within an Iframe on Chrome?
You can uncover the culprit by looking at the source of the offending iframe:
src="chrome-extension://flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk/html/top.html?1457289833178#minimized”
In chrome://extensions
, you can turn on the developer mode, and this will show the id of each extension. Then you can search through for this id flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk
, but this turns out not to be necessary.
The chrome store organizes things by their id, so you can go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk and find out that it’s Avira Browser Safety.
I had this iframe
as well. The Avira Browser Safety extension is causing it.
Uninstall it and the iframe
on top of the window is gone.
