Since the last weeks we see many 404's on our sites caused by Chrome adding /cache/[hex-string]/ to the current page URL.

The hex strings we have seen are:

e9c5ecc3f9d7fa1291240700c8da0728
1d292296547f895c613a210468b705b7
408cfdf76534ee8f14657ac884946ef2
9b0771373b319ba4f132b9447c7060a4
b8cd4270356f296f1c5627aa88d43349

If you search for these strings you get matches from different sites, but they are most likely auto-generated (/search/cache/e9c5ecc3f9d7fa1291240700c8da0728/ for example).

Is this a known issue with Chrome (or an extension)?
