Most Chrome extensions need to interact with content, so if you want to do that you have to run code inside the content context. Adblockers can intercept any requests you make, even if it's to extension content (i.e. not over the internet, not to an ad/tracking server). This goes so far that they will silently block attempts to open a popup window (in this case, in a click handler to open extension-specific UI for the user.) The content was under chrome-extension:// and was just an html file. Incidentally I use ublock. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot this if it's possible to fix the issue.
