Mixed Content error because of a request to adxk.net

I'm developing a small web app (bootstrap + jquery + nginx + api backend) and today I stumped upon a peculiar error in Chrome, on Ubuntu 16.04.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://localhost/data/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://adxk.net/blacklist_tds.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fdata%2F&ref=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Foverview%2F&country=PL'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

My page serves all content via https and I'm not making this request. Firefox doesn't seem to do this request.

What (the heck) is adxk.net?

This sounds like the work of a dodgy Chrome Extension to me. Developers can use the chrome.webRequest API to intercept web requests from your tabs and redirect them somewhere else. I recommend you take a look at what you have installed at chrome://extensions/.

If in doubt, create a new Chrome profile by clicking your name in the top right corner, then 'Switch person', then 'Add person'. This will completely isolate you from any rouge extension/plugin.
