Description

Hey!

When a site has a CSP policy for script-src not including "self", we get this error:

Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at self (“script-src https://report-uri.com https://api.stripe.com https://js.stripe.com https://www.google.com https://www.gstatic.com https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://ajax.cloudflare.com https://www.google-analytics.com”). Source: (function() {
    var _addEventListener;....

Such a site is report-uri.io.

Vimium works fine nonetheless.
