Question: Happened to come across an e-commerce website today, [Harrods.com](http://www.harrods.com). I thought the scrolling effects that they are using (non-mobile site) are really cool. The content and backgrounds seem to scroll at different rates. As you scroll the navigation selector moves under the appropriate category as well.

I tried going through their source to figure out how they are doing it but didn't have any luck. I saw that they loaded up the background images in a `homeImages` variable, but never found it used in a script. Is this something that can be accomplished purely with CSS? Is there a name for this effect I can search on?

Answer: 
After hours of googling, reading, uninstalling, and facepalming!
It turned out that a chrome extension for VPN was handling the proxy settings for Chrome!

Betternet to be more specific!

Disabling it, solved my problem.

To make sure that no extension is overriding Chrome's settings, check the proxy settings in Chrome settings page. For me it showed me a message, that says: "Betternet is handling the proxy settings."
I had the same problem with a Chrome extension called **GeoProxy** - even though proxy was disabled, it still took the traffic away and stopped fiddler from seeing it. Disabling the extension resolved the issue.
I'm guessing this will be an issue with any proxy extension.
