the issue is the ghostery plugin on google play. when i go there the screen goes black...

i followed the directions and logged in and as soon as i went to ghostery on google play https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... niij?hl=en it goes black and i cant login... so what's on that page that breaks my screen?
