I recently started seeing the same thing with Firefox.  After some
experimentation I found that the problem seems to be
https://jnn-pa.googleapis.com.

I understand that companies need revenue from somewhere and since most
users won't pay advertising is it.  But their methods are ludicrously
inefficient and insecure.  At least with Youtube it's all coming from
Google so you know that it only does what Google wants it to do.  Other
sites often want to pull in JS from a dozen or more sites no one has
ever heard of, most of it just because it makes it easier for the web
designers to animate their dancing doggies.
