This problem manifest itself on whotracks.me, for example:
https://whotracks.me/websites/glowstery.com.html
reports some google trackers which were never present on that page.

Chrome platform migrated to v10. Feel free to re-open if the issue is still valid.

Fine to leave it closed, since I also cannot reproduce it anymore (in the UI).

However, based on the data, it may still applies: https://www.ghostery.com/whotracksme/websites/ghosterysearch.com (wrongly showing Google Analytics)

We have this ticket open on WhoTracks.me to track that: whotracksme/whotracks.me#333
