 Tested HTTPS-Everywhere version:

 https-everywhere-2012.5.1.crx ("may day" beta)
 https-everywhere-2012.3.14.crx ("pi day" beta)

 What's the problem:

 Chrome shows extensions unable to work in following conditions:

 1, Adblock Plus(with easylist, easyprivacy filter)+Https everywhere

 The browser says Adblock plus is unable to change network request
 when watching video in http://edition.cnn.com or using some google
 service(especially where google-analytics/google apis exists)

 I guess both the extensions tried to change the connection using
 Webrequest API, resulting conflict with each other


 2, Similar condition
  HTTPS everywhere with Ghostery(3.0.0)

 This time, it is HTTPS everywhere that cannot control the webrequest
