I tried to put this code in a blank HTML page but it works fine on my Chrome 28.0.1500.95 on Mac.
Do you have a full page example that has this problem?

Problem is happening at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines

Follow on to using URL https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines to see the problem. When I use an Incongnito Browser, the widgets.js loads as expected.

It appears that normal mode and incognito mode send out fundamentally different requests:

Colleague of mine was having this issue. I narrowed it down to the ‘DoNotTrackMe’ extension. Most likely being falsely identified as some sort of tracking script.

I had a longer post that didn’t get past the moderator Here is what I believe is happening. Twitter is storing the widget.js as a compressed file on their website. The Normal Chromium browser is not sending the “Accept-Encoding” flag causing the twitter site to not be able to provide a file. BTW, page functions normally in a Chrome Incognito Browser (that send the “Accept-Encoding” flag).

I have the same issue … and the same results. Incognito window works. Normal Chrome browser fails. It’s been 21 weeks since the last post. Has there been any update from Google about this?

SilentUK90 · 2014-01-24T16:49:53.000Z

I am also having this problem. Incognito works fine, normal chrome does not load.

I’m having exactly the same issue: http://js.ework.me/day-8-no-share-buttons-in-my-posts-why/

ebrent · 2014-04-06T00:41:16.000Z

Yep. This happens in Chrome mac for me ONLY when I have the Disconnect (don’t track me) plugin on. Once I whitelisted my site, it appears immediately.

So the plugin is preventing the twitter script from loading.
