Anyone else all of a sudden getting 400 error when clicking SD (affiliate) links in Chrome?

This has worked fine for years. It just started maybe in the past week. I've asked on a couple threads and a few people have chimed in as seeing it as an issue.
To repro: I click a link Chrome windows 10. For example.
This deal:
Then I click this deal link:
That opens a new window at:
Which resolves to a blank white page "400 Bad request
Your browser sent an invalid request."
I have uBlock and Disconnect installed but both are "off" for SD. Again, this has worked fine for years. The links also work fine in Firefox. But that's a drag because I use Chrome as my default. So I generally have to copy the target link, paste it into FF, let it resolve properly, then I copy that URL and paste it back into Chrome. It's such a hassle that I'm starting to click less (and even when I do, SD is missing out on that affiliate cash, so you maybe wanna fix it).
