Steps to reproduce the problem:

The entire browser freezes on the "Checking..."

WebStore page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nordvpn-proxy-extension-p/fjoaledfpmneenckfbpdfhkmimnjocfa?hl=en

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 65.0.3325.181  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

Had the same issue with google-chrome-stable, google-chrome-beta, and chromium
 
Also, on a side note, when I right click on any of my bookmarks to rename them, the entire browser freezes.

I think the issue has to do with painting the DOM, because on occasion,
when I resize the browser window, the popup window to install the extension
shows up. I think the issue is GPU related. Disabling hardware acceleration
doesn't reliably solve the problem.

Tested on the reported Chrome #65.0.3325.181 and latest Chrome #66.0.3359.181 on Ubuntu 16.04 and was not able to see any freeze behavior upon installing the extension from the URL - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nordvpn-proxy-extension-p/fjoaledfpmneenckfbpdfhkmimnjocfa?hl=en

travismo123@ -- Could you please verify by updating your Chrome to latest version and if it still reproduces please try by creating a new profile and by removing the extensions.

Thanks!
