Chrome Github Error
Summary
The PIA extension seems to be responsible for breaking access to github.com during login (and editing files from a repo in browser) which results in that document becoming unreadable with a 422 Status according to the network traffic. This error only occurs when the PIA extension is enabled (Regardless of if it is currently active or not)
Steps to reproduce
PIA Chrome Extension (Version 2.1.1) Chrome (80.0.3987.132)(64-bit) Windows 10 (64-bit)
What is the current bug behaviour?
Whenever I attempt to login to github or modify a readme file and commit the changes the site throws errors regarding an invalid document submission (422 Status according to Chrome's network dev tool).
What is the expected correct behaviour?
I should be able to login to github, or perform the changes without being sent to an error screen.

Same here. Had a hell of a time figuring out WTF was causing this. Also caused a problem with a banking website login

Our browser extension is designed to keep all of its security settings active even if you are not connected to a PIA server - the only acceptance to this is MACE, you need to be connected to one of our servers for that feature to work. I was able to get around this behavior by un-checking the Disable Website Referrer option in the Extension Settings menu:
