www.eternitywall.it is messed up with this version, but previous version (52) and firefox give good result.

www.abnamro.nl gives a privacy error.
www.aliexpress.com gives a privacy error.
Previously when I searched for aliexpress.com on google and clicked on the  first result I was getting a redirect through a malicious website. Currently that behavior is gone but could be because I'm on a different machine currently.

Behavior in Linux Firefox: Good and expected results!
Behavior in Windows Chrome (if you have access to it): 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Installation on any Linux mint 17.3 or Mint 18 64-bit installs. I discovered the issue on 1 desktop, 1 latop and 1 virtual machine.
I also booted from a clean mint USB stick, installed the package and had the same behavior. Then I freaked out and thought that my router was compromised. When I checked same websites within firefox I had normal and expected results which made me relax a bit.

What is the expected result?
Like it is shown in firefox or chromium 52

What happens instead?
As above. Messed up websites and privacy errors.
