Thanks for notifying us, but unfortunably we have so far been unable to
reproduce this using both chrome on linux and chrome on android. When
you talk about "PostgreSQL 9.6 "Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 - x86_64" you
are talking about the repo rpm on:
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-ami201503-96-9.6-2.noarch.rpm
?

If you can still reproduce this on your end it would be good to know
what exact stack you are running (chrome version, OS, ...) and what
exact url(s) it is complaining about.
