The following is the error I get (including "Got the error"):

You get the idea.
These are the errors I get when I attempt to browse the web (on Chrome and the default 'Internet' app) over Wifi on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Or, rather, they are the content of the webpage displayed. I make this distinction from an app notification of an error or something like that. (hopefully this makes sense..)
This only started a few days ago, lasted all day, then returned to normal before happening again today. I have made no changes to the phone immediately prior to this starting. It IS rooted, but I hardly see how that would affect anything.
It should be noted that I did rename gsniff_daemon (I think that was the original name) to something else so that gsniff_daemon would not drain the battery randomly. This is a common workaround and it is thought to deal with GPS, not wifi, so it should not be the issue. That said, if anyone can corroborate a correlation between these two problems, perhaps I will look into that.
Has anyone else received this error, found a fix/workaround, or identified the problem? It's truly strange.
EDIT:
I have done further testing. It hasn't yielded anything that makes sense to me, but hopefully it might to someone else. Here is a screenshot of me doing a raw GET request with netcat.

But those are the ones that pop into my head at the moment
