err content decoding failed on mobile chrome android

Post by adbp123 »

I am having an issue with Adblock Plus for android version 1.3.0.369 (latest development build version).
Running on Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000, OS: MM 6.0.1 custom ROM I get an error on chrome latest stable version: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED when trying to open some website pages. The Adblock Plus app has a root permission running constantly in the background blocking all traffic on port 2020. Sometimes rebooting the device temporarily resolve this issue untill I close and reopen the same webpage and the issue occurs again. Uninstalling and reinstalling Adblock app doesn't solve the problem so as clearing chrome app data.

Configuration:

Samsung GT-P1000
API: 23 Build: 369
Local port: 2020
Running in root mode
iptables output:
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
oem_nat_pre all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Apparently it looks that problem lies with your configuration setting. To find it out you have to check all settings turn by turn!

@susan albert

Hello, This configuration settings log was automatically generated by Adblock Plus.
When launching the app for the first time after installation I was prompted to allow the app root access permission which I permanently allowed.
That is the only active thing I did, nothing else. The rest of the configuration settings was done automatically by the app.
So I don't know where to look in the configuration settings and which value do I need to modify.

Thank you.
